Imagine the distinct possibility that among the billions of stars
located in our vast Milky Way Galaxy, there might be a habitable zone
where water probably exists and life as we know it as well.
Scientists have studied more than 150 exoplanetary systems with more
than one planet circling the host star, thru the Kepler space telescope
of NASA.
The new research, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal
Astronomical Society, revealed the thousands of planets orbiting stars
in our Milky Way galaxy. Researchers were able to compute that the
stars in the Milky Way have one to three planets orbiting the habitable
zone.
PhD student in the research group Astrophysics and Planetary Science
at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Steffen
Kjær Jacobsen said, “In these 31 planetary systems located near the
habitable zone, our calculations showed that there was an average of two
planets in the habitable zone. According to statistics and the
indications we have, a good share of the planets in the habitable zone
will be solid planets where there might be liquid water and where life
could exist.”
He added, “In 124 of the planetary systems, the Titius-Bode law fit
with the position of the planets as good as or better than our own
solar system. Using Titus-Bode’s law we tried to predict where there
could be more planets further out in the planetary systems. But we only
made calculations for planets where there is a good chance you can see
them with the Kepler satellite,”
Researchers urged other scientist to look further into the records
from the Kepler satellite again for more signs of the planetary systems
they have predicted, as a number of them should be quite apparent.
Will this change our perception of religion? That we are not God’s only living creation?
