- According to a recent study, approximately one-third of the planets in the Milky Way Galaxy possess water and thus have conditions conducive to supporting life.
- A recent study, utilizing data from the Kepler Mission’s telescopes, suggests that there exists a significant number of smaller, cooler planets with approximately half the mass of the Sun orbiting dwarfs, also known as Red dwarfs.
- The study indicates that out of these planets, around two-thirds are likely to be negatively impacted by extreme tidal forces, rendering them inhospitable for life. However, approximately one-third of the planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, which fall within the habitable zone known as the Goldilocks zone, could potentially support life.
