Astrophysicist Lars Buchhave, University of Copenhagen explains about his new research showing, that planets up to four times the size of the Earth can form around very different stars -- including stars that are poorer in heavy elements. The conclusion, says Lars A. Buchhave, is that these observations mean that Earth-like planets could be widespread throughout our galaxy, as they have no special requirements for an elevated content of heavy elements in stars in order to be formed.
