Based on observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, there are between 125 and 250 billion galaxies in the observable universe. It is estimated that at least ten percent of all Sun-like stars have a system of planets, i.e. there are 6.25×1018 stars with planets orbiting them in the observable universe. Even if it is assumed that only one out of a billion of these stars has planets supporting life, there would be some 6.25 billion life-supporting planetary systems in the observable universe.

Over 3,500 exoplanets have been discovered so far, many of them within the habitable zones of star systems. There are over a dozen methods that have proved successful for discovering a new planet or confirming an already discovered planet, and a long list of independent agencies and individuals that corroborate the discoveries. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73975191 The recent discovery of the Earth's oldest fossils indicates that life began on this planet under very harsh conditions, shortly after the planet's formation. The conditions on Earth 4.5 billion years ago closely resembled the conditions on early Mars and Venus, and likely resembles the conditions on various exoplanets throughout the universe. Extraterrestrial water, (liquid water, ice and vapor) and/or the evidence of past abundance of liquid water are found on Mars, Europa, Enceladus, Ganemede, Ceres, Venus, our Moon, and inside comets. With all of this verifiable knowledge available to anyone with access to modern technology, how is it possible that so many people continue to believe that life is exclusive to our planet? for the same reason that many people continue to believe other things which seem completely asinine to you. some people pick and choose which facts the wish to believe. it helps to keep them feeling comfortable |

You - pagans and atheists - believe in the lies of your "inner voices" as source of special wisdom, inspired by the breath of demons and think you're smart. Wake up! There's no star, only some variable field intensity; you can't see any light out of atmosphere. What you do not see is not an object. No star => no "planets" to... move around. No planets => Disneyland. Nobody can or will ever get there, in this imagery propaganda. The move between Sun and Earth is relative and nobody could find that the Earth is moving and described the apparent move observed, not the absolute space location. So, you believe in star and the rotation of something named exoplanet. Atheist, evolutionist, scientist thinking style. |

What I'm stating, is that the greatest scientist, were all Christians and we didn't have or need massive debt or create false ideology like "habitable zones" to fund it. That's crazy. Asteroids weren't discovered until 1801, and the fact that they contain water wasn't confirmed until 2007. I don't think "scientists" were the ones that were wrong for 3000 years. Humanity has never been better able to observe and analyze the universe than we are today. our knowledge of the universe is growing, and it is an exciting time to be alive. Why would you want mankind to stop exploring, learning, and growing? Then, scientist/atheist were in the dark for 3000 years, while Christians have had the word of God that explain the water-cycle. No our knowledge of the universe isn't growing. I'd personally be excited for astronomy, when someone invents a telescope that can VERIFIABLE see other planets. We won't have a scientific revolution until government gets out of the way and most of your original post is outside of verifiable information. Habital zones. False. Independent agencies and individuals. Most likely...false. 4.5 billion years ago. False. Likely resembles the conditions on various planets throughout the universe (false!). Abundance of liquid water outside of earth (where?) Comets? (false). You have alot of faith in something that isn't very true. Publicly available telescopes capable of seeing the polar icecaps on Mars exist, so I guess now you can get excited about astronomy. And that's were our real limitations are and there's not much water. If we want to expand our reach further, we need to limited government...and most paths lead to larger government. Hey bro, can you explain to me why, when I look at the starts at night, they start dancing, then move across the entire sky? They aren't fixed objects when I'm looking at them. |

Over 3,500 exoplanets have been discovered so far, many of them within the habitable zones of star systems. There are over a dozen methods that have proved successful for discovering a new planet or confirming an already discovered planet, and a long list of independent agencies and individuals that corroborate the discoveries. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73975191 The recent discovery of the Earth's oldest fossils indicates that life began on this planet under very harsh conditions, shortly after the planet's formation. ..... With all of this verifiable knowledge available to anyone with access to modern technology, how is it possible that so many people continue to believe that life is exclusive to our planet? who's facts and who is cross-checking said facts. i still haven't heard a fact about how it is possible to penetrate the Van Allen Radiation Belts...with a tin can designed in 1960s tech...yet we can confirm based on Kunrick's 2001 that space flight can be filmed without going to space. Here's a short list of the active exoplanet search projects to get you started: Anglo-Australian Planet Search (AAPS) Automated Planet Finder (APF) based at the Lick Observatory (also known as the Rocky Planet Finder) Carl Sagan Institute CORALIE spectrograph based at Leonhard Euler Telescope East-Asian Planet Search Network (EAPSNET) ELODIE EPICS based at the E-ELT ESPRESSO based at the VLT EXPRES based at the Discovery Channel Telescope FINDS Exo-Earths based at the 3m telescope at Lick Observatory Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) HARPS-N HATNet and HATSouth Projects (HAT) HEK HiCIAO High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer (HIRES)based at the W. M. Keck Observatory KELT Lick–Carnegie Exoplanet Survey (LCES) Magellan Planet Search Program MARVELS MEarth Project Microlensing Follow-Up Network (MicroFUN) Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics MOA) Micro-arcsecond University of Sydney Companion Astrometry (MUSCA) - - MINiature Exoplanet Radial Velocity Array(MINERVA) N2K Consortium NASA-UC Eta-Earth New Mexico Exoplanet Spectroscopic Survey Instrument (NESSI) Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) at Paranal, since 2015 Okayama Planet Search Program (OPSP) Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) Palomar High-precision Astrometric Search for Exoplanet Systems (PHASES) PlanetPol PlanetQuest PRL Advanced Radial-velocity All-sky Search (PARAS) Project 1640 Search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) SOPHIE échelle spectrograph Spectro-Polarimetric High-Contrast Exoplanet Research (SPHERE) SPECULOOS - - Strategic Explorations of Exoplanets and Disks with Subaru (SEEDS) Systemic an amateur search project Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey (TrES) XO Telescope (XO) ZIMPOL/CHEOPS subsystem of the VLT-SPHERE instrument, based at the VLT[14] Ha Ha Ha! "Much = truth, less = lie!", is it? Invention of useless work to be done by too many slaves to handle... What gives you reason to believe in "billions" of years and life somewhere else? Cannot make sure something is older than 500 years, except some human left a written note. Only the Satan rebellion attitude, put in fake science - quantitative knowledge without the Creator to be "seen" there may disturb the mind. To people like you, the life is just a combination of some material parts made in a way you believe it'll work anyway, anywhere. You - pagans and atheists - believe in the lies of your "inner voices" as source of special wisdom, inspired by the breath of demons and think you're smart. Wake up! There's no star, only some variable field intensity; you can't see any light out of atmosphere. What you do not see is not an object. No star => no "planets" to... move around. No planets => Disneyland. Nobody can or will ever get there, in this imagery propaganda. The move between Sun and Earth is relative and nobody could find that the Earth is moving and described the apparent move observed, not the absolute space location. So, you believe in star and the rotation of something named exoplanet. Atheist, evolutionist, scientist thinking style. What are you on about? Disneyland is real - I've been there. |
