Exoplanet Radio Ep. 24: How Common Are Habitable Exoplanets?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5roxIq5g8U From Aug 22, 2023. One of the big questions we are trying to answer in exoplanet astronomy is: Just how common are habitable planets?  We already know that exoplanets themselves are extremely common: Astronomers tell us there are on average 1.6 planets for every star in our galaxy, so there are more planets than stars out there.   That by itself is pretty amazing, but what we really want to know is, where’s the life?  How common are planets that could potentially support life?   All episodes available: https://exoplanetradio.com Music by Geodesium: https://lochnessproductions.com   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
