Location: distant extrasolar planet

Coordinates: 20h 00m 43.7133s +22° 42′ 39.07″.

Its overall colour determined deep blue and has carbon dioxide in its atmosphere.

A temperature range of 973 ± 33 K to 1,212 ± 11 K was discovered.


Fermi paradox

The Fermi paradox is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization and humanity's lack of contact with, or evidence for, such civilizations.

The basic points of the argument, are:
-the Sun is a typical star, and relatively young. There are billions of stars in the galaxy that are billions of years older.
-with high probability, some of these stars will have Earth-like planets. Assuming the Earth is typical, some of these planets may develop intelligent life.
-some of these civilizations may develop interstellar travel, a technology Earth is investigating even now (such as the 100 Year Starship).
-even at the slow pace of currently envisioned interstellar travel, the galaxy can be completely colonized in a few tens of millions of years.


Drake equation

The Drake equation is a probabilistic argument used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy.

N = Rx * fp * ne * fl * fi * fc * L

Rx - the average rate of star formation in our galaxy
fp - the fraction of those stars that have planets
ne - the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets
fl - the fraction of planets that could support life that actually develop life at some point
fi - the fraction of planets with life that actually go on to develop intelligent life (civilizations)
fc - the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
L - the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space
