We win some, we lose some... Two stories from CBC
On the "win" side, Planet with 2 mini-suns yields new planet-hunting technique. This opens up the possibility of quite a few systems having habitable worlds - all we need to do is find a "warm desert" world somewhere nearby, and the Warsies have their Tattoine.
On the "lose" side, Earth-like planets Gliese 581 g and d likely don't exist, study says. We had put these into the FenWiki with Gliese 581g getting its own page ... (goes and looks) ... luckily, nobody's done anything with them except for a throwaway line for Gliese 581g that can be moved to the Gliese 581 article without any difficulty.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
