If you have not heard, the Milky Way is a sort of height. In fact, it has 100 000-by-1, 000 light years in size. While this is certainly not new, we had no idea how many planets of the solar system occur.
We do now.
NASA researchers working on the Kepler telescope is extrapolated from the results of the two numbers in the sign of the three and a half year mission. These results? It was about fifty billion planets in the Milky Way. 50000000000 between planets, it is estimated that five hundred million of which occur in "Goldilocks zone", which is a middle ground can not exist, that is not too hot or too cold for life.
50 billion the amount calculated to understand that 50% of stars have planets. That 50% of the 1-to-200 is the planets that fit the "Goldilocks zone". These numbers hover in the lower end of the spectrum, because it is presumed that many of these stars are different planets.
It 'important to remember that these figures are estimates. Hard figures are much less impressive: 1235 of 54 candidate planets "Goldilocks zone".
For those who are wondering if there is intelligent life outside our planet, it can also be 5-100000000 chance to find out. It 's just to stay in their galaxy - let's not forget that there are dates to about 100 billion galaxies in our universe.
