A news-item heading in Aug 16 Washington Post says 'Planetary System Found Similar to the Sun's':

"Astronomers have found a planetary system remarkably similar to the sun's - two planets traveling in circular orbits around a star in the Big Dipper."

"If such inner planets exist, and if any are blessed with water, life might have flourished there. Even if that is not the case, scientists said the discovery boosts hopes that planetary systems with earth-like planets will eventually be found."
