stars?
The first was the head of engineering, Frank Maslen, said, there will be no
stars
in this team.
Here they are, the
stars
of the show, the first fully-functional semisynthetic organisms.
Later that week, for the first time, I saw
stars
in the night sky.
We know now that the universe is made of about 100 billion galaxies that are visible to us, and each one of those galaxies has 100 billion
stars
within it.
And each of those galaxies may contain within it a few billion or even hundreds of billions of individual
stars.
We've learned over time that
stars
have individual histories; that is, they have birth, they have middle ages and some of them even have dramatic deaths.
So the embers from those
stars
actually then form the new
stars
that we see, most of which turn out to have planets going around them.
And one of the really surprising results in the last 20 years has been the discovery of other planets going around other
stars.
But now, there are almost 2,000 other planets orbiting other
stars
that we can now detect, measure masses for.
We've even found planets that are orbiting two
stars.
And my hope is that with the construction of this and other facilities, that many young women and men will be inspired to reach for the

Now, every year in our Milky Way, which has 100 billion stars, about two new

There are maybe 100 billion galaxies detectable by our telescopes, so if each star was the size of a single grain of sand, just the Milky Way has enough

to fill a 30 foot by 30 foot stretch of beach three feet deep with sand.
R-star is the rate at which
stars
have been born in the Milky Way Galaxy over the last few billion years, so it's a number that is
stars
per year.
Our galaxy is 10 billion years old, and early in its history
stars
formed at a different rate.
F-sub-p is the fraction of
stars
that have planets.
If SETI succeeds in detecting a signal in the near future, after examining only a small portion of the
stars
in the Milky Way, then we learn that L, on average, must be large.
Each of those galaxies contains about 100 billion
stars.
Many of those
stars
have planets orbiting them.
So when we search for habitable worlds, we definitely want to look for planets in the habitable zones around their
stars.
So finding planets of the right size and distance from their
stars
is only a beginning.
We know that after the Big Bang, the universe cooled down to form the
stars
and galaxies that we see today.
Stars
are born at the messy intersection of gas and dust, instigated by gravity's irrevocable pull.
