New Thirty Billion Possible Life Bearing Planets


The New Scientist has created a fascinating interactive that extrapolates from the results of NASA's search for possible life bearing planets almost the constellation Cygnus.

NASA's Kepler infinite telescope discovered 51 planets that are the correct size to behave life too look to orbit inward the habitable zone approximately a bring upwards star. However Kepler tin flame exclusively notice planets that croak guide betwixt the planet's Sun too the telescope. The New Scientist interactive extrapolates for the belike missing worlds too arrives at a possible 22,500 planets that be inward this relatively modest corner of the galaxy almost Cygnus.

The New Scientist thus extrapolates from that figure to practise a map of the Galaxy amongst billions of possible life bearing planets. How Many Earths? H5N1 lot!
