Galactic Habitability Project

The Galactic Habitability Project is a scientific effort to identify regions within the Milky Way galaxy where conditions might support life. Researchers analyze factors like star density, radiation levels, and the presence of necessary elements to determine areas that are more likely to be hospitable for life to develop and survive. By understanding these "habitable zones," scientists can better target searches for extraterrestrial life and learn how the galaxy's environment influences astrobiology. The project combines astrophysics and planetary science to explore where life might thrive beyond Earth.
