ESA scientist discovers a way to shortlist stars that might have planets
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=7433
Markus Landgraf of the European Space Agency and colleagues have found the
first direct evidence that a bright disc of dust surrounds our Solar
System, starting beyond the orbit of Saturn. Remarkably, their discovery
gives astronomers a way to determine which other stars in the Galaxy are
most likely to harbour planets and allows mission planners to draw up a
'short-list' of stars to be observed by ESA's future planet-search
missions, Eddington and Darwin.

affair conducted by mom, dad, the kids, kinfolk, and generations to come,
says a University of Florida anthropologist.
