Binary Systems Capable of Creating Planets

This article talks about the fact that it appears that binary star systems are not only capable but likely to have planets. Previously it was thought that such systems would clear away the debris needed for planets to form. Instead it appears that such systems may have even more dust, and hence a greater possibility to create planets, than normal single star systems. This is also the first time that planetary nurseries (the gas disks) have been studied. The number found around the stars had raised general hopws about the possibility of planets in general, not just ones around binary systems. It may be that when we do find life, its version of a normal solar system could quite possibly be a little different than ours.
