Default Epistellar jovians may aide in the formation of Earthlike planets

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/0...eut/index.html

An interesting shift from earlier opinion, when it was believed that terrestrial formation would be impeded or halted by one of these roomsweepers plowing through the inner system, but now the feeling is that epistellars may drag enough iceballs from the outer system with them to assist in ocean formation.

Interesting thought.
