Wow that's simply amazing.

It seems like we are getting further and further away from discovering a smallish to moderate size planet with water in the goldilocks zone and as we search we are finding stranger and stranger planets. So much can go wrong in planetary formation and survival in a hostile environment that the number of such earthlike planets must be small indeed.
