[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] One possible way to explain the outer reaches of the system, at least that I've thought [i]slightly[/i] plausible, is that most or all of the outer planets are actually moons orbiting gas giants. That would allow there to be many Earth-sized bodies per orbit (since our own star system shows that's probably possible). But it wouldn't exactly explain the lighting... Concerning the CHZ idea, I've kinda always thought that a bigger star � one that generated more heat and energy � would also have a wider CHZ. The statistics for various stars that I've seen � for example at the [URL=http://www.stellar-database.com/]Internet Stellar Database[/URL] � seems to indicate that hotter stars like [URL=http://www.stellar-database.com/Scripts/search_star.exe?Name=Sirius]Sirius[/URL] have a wider CHZ. (The database lists the CHZ as the "Comfort Zone".) So, who knows? Maybe it's within the realm of physics that more planets could fit around a larger star and still be habitable. [/QB][/QUOTE]
