70 percent of all stars have rocky planets
There are three hundred billion stars in our Galaxy, so 100 million Earth sized planets seems like a rather low estimate and a bit of a letdown.
Previous extrapolations, from astronmers that made the news, estimated that there were between 10 and 250 billion (not million) earth sized planets in our galaxy.
