'Would you like a little ice with your exoplanet?' For Earth-like worlds, that may be a tall order

Exoplanets are experiencing a stratospheric rise. In the three decades since the first confirmed planet orbiting another star, scientists have catalogued more than 4,000 of them. As the list grows, so too does the desire to find Earth-like exoplanets—and to determine whether they could be life-sustaining oases like our own globe.
The coming decades should see the launch of new missions that can gather ever-larger amounts of data about exoplanets. Anticipating these future endeavors, a team at the University of Washington and the University of Bern has computationally simulated more than 200,000 hypothetical Earth-like worlds—planets that have the same size, mass, atmospheric composition and geography as modern Earth—all in orbit of stars like our sun.
