It's official, we are not alone!

ScienceDaily (Jan. 11, 2012) — An international team, including three astronomers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO), has used the technique of gravitational microlensing to measure how common planets are in the Milky Way.

After a six-year search that surveyed millions of stars, the team concludes that planets around stars are the rule rather than the exception.

Since there are more Galaxies out there than all the grains of sand on all the beaches in the world - and each galaxy has billions of stars, chances are there's a planet out there with faster broadband and cleaner air that we have round here. Hi guys!
