The two gas giants in the new system seem to be more or less the same sort of distance out from their star as Earth is. Finding rocky/inhabitable planets in the habitable zone of a main sequence star appears to be rare in our galaxy. More normal is either rocky planets orbiting a dwarf star inside the heliosphere of the dwarf star, or inhabitable worlds existing as moons of a gas giant in the habitable zone of a main sequence star, as per the Ganymede hypothesis.

It’s only a solar system “like ours” if they discover chocolate on one of the planets.
To: BenLurkin
If we did find a planet capable of sustaining life somewhere in the galaxy, how would we get there?
I think we are stuck on Earth for the foreseeable future, no matter what we discover through our telescopes. This means I must continue to share a planet with people that I am not particularly fond of.
To: BenLurkin
What do they mean “LIKE” ours? Very misleading.

Merkur? Erde? Sonnensystem?
It's been conquered by the Germans! Someone find the planetary equivalent of Normandy so we can take it back!
