	While it has been ascertained through searches undertaken from both the surface of the Earth and the [[Wikipedia:Hubble_Space_Telescope\|Hubble Space Telescope]] that there are a large number of planets orbiting sunlike stars in our galaxy, most of the planets discovered to date are clssified as gas giants, similar in size and potentialy in composition as the planet [[Wikipedia:Jupiter_%28planet%29\|Jupiter]] in our own solar system. However, it is very hard for modern telescopes to discern Earth-sized worlds, so currently gas giants are the main planets being discovered.

	Some fans have claimed that is highly improbable that a single star would have no fewer than twelve planets and moons orbiting a star within the "zone of life" for that star. Moreover, they claim that a system with this many planets would probably be dynamically unstable. However, that is dependent on the definition of a planet. In August of 2006, an International Astronomical Union proposal that was later rejected defined a planet as "a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (b) is in orbit around a star, and is neither a star nor a satellite of a planet." Under ~~this~~ definition, bodies that would originally have been considered nothing more than spherical asteroids ~~are now classified~~ as "dwarf planets."

Under that definition, bodies that would originally have been considered nothing more than spherical asteroids would have been reclassified as "dwarf planets."

	It is possible that the Twelve Colonies could be composed mostly of dwarf planets, which are small enough to all fit in the so-called "Goldilocks Zone". Then the only problem would be gravity and the Colonials obviously have artificial gravity technology. They could also have the ability to carry out considerable [[Wikipedia: Terraforming\|terraforming]].

	A limited degree of terraforming is possible even with Earth-level technology, however, so it is not entirely implausible. Moreover, the number of candidates for terraforming may be higher than conventionally assumed; in our solar system, for example, they may include the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. In the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)\|Re-imagined Series]], Caprica is depicted as Earthlike, but the other Colonies are not shown, so they may well be non-Earthlike worlds.
