Detailing his quest to discover what makes a planet habitable; Sean Raymond of Bordeaux observatory utilizes a binary system, gas giants, leading and following trojans and binary planets in order to cram 60 potentially habitable worlds into the goldilocks zone.

Haha, that's great. Looking forward to seeing such a system in Aurora!

Actually, I wonder if the system generation has a hard cap on planets/moons?
