The 'how' was a style called polyphony, music of many independently moving voices that suggested the way the planets seemed to move in Ptolemy's geocentric universe.

And then Drake's equation, looking at the probability of life arising on planets, how long it might last, how many planets are out there.

They might be bootstrapping life on planets, trying to terraform and spread civilization.

I mean, how many of those star systems have planets?

Recent results suggest that virtually every star has planets, and more than one.

That's a lot of real estate, but of course, most of these planets are going to be kind of worthless, like, you know, Mercury, or Neptune.

So the question is, what fraction of these planets are actually suitable for life?

We don't know the answer to that either, but we will learn that answer this year, thanks to NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, and in fact, the smart money, which is to say the people who work on this project, the smart money is suggesting that the fraction of planets that might be suitable for life is maybe one in a thousand, one in a hundred, something like that.

And the reason for trillions of galaxies, sextillions of planets, is to create something that looks like that and something that looks like that.

MT: Well, maybe you shouldn't have told them it could be used to contact other planets.

It was an astronomy book, and I poured over that thing for hours on end, and it was a combination of all these things that inspired me to pursue space exploration as my own personal dream, and part of that dream was, I always wanted to just fly around the solar system and visit different planets and visit moons and spacecraft.

But as you add more and more planets, Mars and Jupiter, say, the problem gets too tough for Einstein to solve with a pen and paper.

Now, strangely, if instead of having a handful of planets, you had millions of objects or even billions, the problem actually becomes much simpler, and Einstein is back in the game.

But instead of planets being attracted to one another, it's people who are attracted to areas with better job opportunities, higher pay, better quality of life and lower unemployment.

There must be millions of planets in the Milky Way, and as Carl Sagan insisted for many years, and was laughed at for it, there must be billions and billions in the universe.

In a few years, NASA is going to launch four or five telescopes out to Jupiter, where there's less dust, and start looking for Earth-like planets, which we cannot see with present technology, nor detect.

And I really think there's a fundamental difference, if you sort of look into the future, between a humanity that is a space-faring civilization, that's out there exploring the stars, on multiple planets, and I think that's really exciting, compared with one where we are forever confined to Earth until some eventual extinction event.

And it is a body that has long intrigued people who've watched the planets.

It's part of the spacecraft that's in orbit around the Sun that's rendezvoused with two planets.

The interstellar visitor entered our solar system from above the plane of the planets, coming from the direction of the constellation Lyra, and it passed closest to the Sun on September 9th, passing inside the orbit of Mercury.

The process of the birth of a new solar system and the growth of planets can be a violent and messy business.

Leftover icy and rocky debris gets ejected from the new solar system as the giant planets migrate through the dusty disk out of which they're formed.

And he realized suddenly that the force that drew the apple down to the earth could be the same as the force regulating the motions of the planets and the moon.

That the force that causes the apple to fall to the ground is the same force that causes the planets and the moon to move around, and so on?

So under an endless rain of cosmic dust, the air is full of pollen, micro-diamonds and jewels from other planets and supernova explosions.
