Good to know. But surely there isn't 300 Billion stars in our galaxy.

If so, half of them half at least 1 planet orbiting them, that means

there's
potentially 150 Billion planets in our Galaxy.


While the half number for planets isn't necessarily supported, if you
include red dwarf stars, the estimates run as high as 1,000 billion (i.e.,
one trillion) stars in our galaxy, and a similar number in our nearest
neighbor, the Andromdeda galaxy.




I find that hard to believe. I just had a look outside & there's no way
there's more than 3 or 4 thousand stars at the most......


Ok - good one Whisper.
It is clear you have no Astronomical knowledge, and your only function here is as a troll.

All further posts from you are now for my Kill file.
