The search for life on other planets is a constant one, and according to researchers from Australia and Denmark, the pool of possibilities right here in our own galaxy is immense.
The search for life on other planets is a constant one, and according to researchers from Australia and Denmark, the pool of possibilities right here in our own galaxy is immense.
They’ve estimated that at least a billion stars have up to 3 planets in habitable zones, and those could be housing the water needed to support living things.
That estimate was calculated using the 250-year-old Titius-Bode law, which predicts how planets in solar systems are spaced.
It dictates that the orbit ratio among planets will remain consist
