New Discovery: One Third of Galaxies May Have Habitable Planets
A recent study has found that one third of galaxies could host planets capable of sustaining life. This groundbreaking research conducted by scientists at the University of Oxford, UK, suggests that the universe may be more hospitable to life than previously thought.
The team of researchers utilized data from over a thousand galaxies to draw their conclusions, and predicted that the number of potentially habitable planets in the universe could be as high as 6.5 billion. This means that there could be around two habitable planets in each Milky Way-like galaxy, with each containing the right conditions for hosting complex life.
The research opens up a new possibility for understanding the origin and evolution of life in the universe. It suggests that the number of planets capable of sustaining life could be much higher than previously thought, and may help to explain why humanity is yet to find evidence of extraterrestrial life.
