Other Earths | The Search for Habitable Planets

Our galaxy is made up of some four hundred billion stars and at least a hundred billion planets. How many are like Earth, with an atmosphere, flowing water, complex geology, and abundant life?

Astronomers are seeking answers in countless photons racing past the Earth and in bold new theories about how planets form and evolve.

Or is it rare, in a galaxy shaped by violence and mayhem?
