Sorry, 40 years ago I knew that already - I was 8. Every scientist told us we are very rare. But why the hack should that be? Cause they had no evidence or proof? They had no tools to observe the universe. But the only important tool is the brain. When you can't imagine things you can't see it. In my case imagination is first and second proof. Thanks to Herrn Heisenberg. Greets from Munich city of Heisenberg.

Jupiter and Saturn have over 60 moons each so a Jupiter-size planet in the Goldilocks zone of a star is like dozens of potential life-harboring sites.

@Evofusiontm Isaac Asimov wrote a book called "Extraterrestrial Civilizations". Highly recommended. He builds a strong case for the assertion that there are probably about 1/2 million planets with intelligent life on them in this galaxy, but that they are on average 60ly apart.
-
@yaklin104 Most systems are binary, (or more) and they tend to fling off any planets that form.
-
@8WholeThing Not necessarily, but I think it's safe to say that the planets which might harbor life are less likely to be found nearer to the core.

@music2012 Good point, that's why I think 1.6 planets per star is a lower limit. The number of planets with NO star isn't even included in this survey.
Who knows how many of those there are!
