The search for intelligent life on other planets is encouraging the research interests of astronomers. only a tiny fraction of the 200 to 400 billion stars in our galaxy seem to have what it takes to support life on orbiting planets, scientists know. It is now, researchers contemplate they know where such potential habitable stars’or “habstars”‘hang in the sky.
A list of top five potential habstars in our galaxy, three of which can be seen from Earth with the naked eye has been recently released by Margaret Turnbull, of the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C. Locating these sun-like stars is a step toward the eventual search for life on other planets, according to Turnbull.
