I agree, but it wasn't me that threw it off the path.

Back on the subject. Isn't there a theory about how everything just happens to be "just right" for life on Earth and how that portends the possibility elsewhere is highly improbable? I forget the name of it.

Yeah, it's called the "mud puddle wondering about the fact that the hole in the ground has just the right shape for it to fit in".

"Rare Earth," by Ward and Brownlee is a pretty good book laying that hypothesis out for our consideration.

The most likely result for this new planetary system is that it will have planets but one condition or another won't be met, so higher life such as animals and plants won't be found. Microbial life, though, being of lower complexity and lesser organization doesn't need such tight conditions and could well be found there, and found at a lot of places all over the galaxy and beyond.
