quote:
The Milky Way is the galaxy which is the home of our Solar System together with at least 200 billion other stars (more recent estimates have given numbers around 400 billion) and their planets. The Milky Way Galaxy belongs to the Local Group, a smaller group of 3 large and over 30 small galaxies, and is the second largest (after the Andromeda Galaxy) The Milky Way Galaxy So, say a couple of trillion stars in the Local Group, some of them that "could" be the proper distance from their star for life to exist - lets say one in a million chance - that's 1,000,000 to 2,000,000,000,000 - or - around 2 million or more planets that could hold life. I'd say, yeah, there's somebody else out there. I also think that one listen to our radio emissions would scare all but the boldest away. [:D]
