With so many planets available for study, astronomers have learned a great deal about the types of planets that exist out there and what kind of conditions are prevalent. For instance, they have been able to get a better idea of just how common habitable planets are (at least by our standards).</p> <p>This study was led by Stephen Kane, a professor of astrobiology from the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside).
