The new trend is to try and find moons that are more like the earth because they may last less time than a planet... if these planets are big enough, and far enough from the sun the moons should be habitibal, atleast for other forms of life.

My professor at UF just found the largest sun in the galaxy to date, or is still in the process of mapping/writing about it. That to me is amazing...

your professor is going to be an extremely rich man.the world will be waiting for his book.
