We've even found
planets
that are orbiting two stars.
So we marvel now at those odds, the overwhelming odds, and the amazing thing is that within the next decade, the GMT may be able to take spectra of the atmospheres of those planets, and determine whether or not they have the potential for life.
We'll be able to study other
planets
in exquisite detail.
So when we discover other planets, we'll be able to test those observations, we'll be able to measure the atmospheres, be able to look in space with very high resolution.
And it may be typical that
planets
around the universe start off with some of these basic building blocks.
And most of those seeds will fall on fallow
planets.
But this doesn’t mean that it’s a sufficient condition –
planets
like Venus have atmospheres but lack other criteria for habitability.
This entire collection, Wanderers, that was named after planets, was not to me really about fashion per se, but it provided an opportunity to speculate about the future of our race on our planet and beyond, to combine scientific insight with lots of mystery and to move away from the age of the machine to a new age of symbiosis between our bodies, the microorganisms that we inhabit, our products and even our buildings.

N-sub-e is the average number of habitable

F-sub-l is the fraction of
planets
on which life actually begins and f-sub-i is the fraction of all those life forms that develop intelligence.
Many of those stars have
planets
orbiting them.
What do such
planets
look like?
So when we search for habitable worlds, we definitely want to look for
planets
in the habitable zones around their stars.
Those regions are the best bets to find
planets
like Earth.
But while habitable zones are a pretty good place to begin the search for
planets
with life, there are a couple of complications.
So finding
planets
of the right size and distance from their stars is only a beginning.
These discoveries suggest that Earth-like
planets
may be only the tip of the astrobiological iceberg.
A cloud of dust and gas that form the Sun and the Earth and the
planets
and you and me started to collapse as gravity pulled it all together.
And everything that formed out of the cloud, the Sun and the
