The data from NASA's Kepler Telescope indicates that there are 50 billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy. Kepler has so far discovered 1,235 planets, 54 of which fall within the range of the "Goldilocks Zone," which fits the conditions of life on our planet Earth . Astronomer Seth Shostak estimates that there are at least 30,000 habitable planets within a range of 1,000 light-years from Earth. Scientists have identified that one in every two stars has at least one planet and that the planet in 200 stars is likely to provide the conditions of the origin of life as we know it. Scientists have made the first cosmic census of the planets in our galaxy. The figures are astronomical: there are at least 50 billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy of which at least 500 million are in an area that is not too hot and not very cold where life can exist.
These figures were derived from the initial results of the Kepler telescope, which was designed to trap other planets in the universe. The Hable Zone, known as HZ in astronomy, is defined as the distance between a star and a planet-like planet that can retain its water on its surface. This zone is a junction of two regions that provide the opportunity for life. The first is located in the planetary system and the second in the galaxy, The planets and moons in those regions are more likely than others to be inhabited and thus able to tolerate a form of external life that resembles our lives. This concept does not include satellites (satellites) because there is not enough evidence and theories that predict that satellites may be inhabited considering their proximity to the planet. The populated area is usually referred to as the "Living Area", the "Equator Zone", the "Green Belt" and the Goldilocks.
The name is derived from the story of the girl Gouldelox and the three bears, in which the girl chooses things from three sets of objects that belong to the bears, ignoring the extreme things In size (giant or very small, hot or cold .. etc) and decided to choose the middle things. Similarly, life-like planets follow the principle of Goldilocks. It is not far from the star and is not very close to it so that the water does not evaporate on the surface of the planet, that is to preserve the water on its surface. This is life, as we humans understand on the planet.
However, there are planets in the inhabited area that do not host life (such as giant planets) and can also be called Gouldelox planets, but planet Earth is the strongest example of the planet Gouldelox.In 2007 a planet named Gliese 581d was found and in 2009 it was found in the populated area in terms of distance from the star. In 2010, a planet called Gliese 581 g, the world's most earthly planet, was discovered to this day. Gliese 581 g orbits around a red dwarf star Gliese 581 and is 20.5 light-years away from the constellation, The outer solar system of Gliese 581 is the fourth in the order beyond the star, and this discovery was announced by the Lake-Carnegie Cosmic Survey in late September 2010 and a decade later in astronomical observation.
