Maybe not an exact 'Earth'....but it means rocky planets must be abundant. When I was a kid, the science books showed our solar system as some sort of 'freak' occurence...maybe created by a passing star. Now it would seem the universe is teeming with planets of every sort.
It also means the chances of intelligent life out there just increased somewhat.
