There are now over 150 known solar systems besides our own. For a complete, updated list of them, check out The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia. MSNBC reports today on the discovery of a new system 41 light years away with 3 Neptune sized planets, including one that is located in that star’s habitable zone. That means it could, potentially, have life as we know it.
