Are We Alone In The Galaxy?

Are We Alone In The Galaxy? is a question that has been on people's minds for a very long time. It's a question that makes us think about the vastness of space and whether Earth is the only planet with life. With about 2 trillion galaxies out there, it makes you wonder if we are really alone even just in the Milky Way galaxy.

A new study from the University of Nottingham, published in the Astrophysical Journal, suggests that our galaxy could be home to 36 intelligent alien civilizations that can communicate. How did they come up with this number? They think this is actually a conservative guess. It's based on the idea that life forms on other planets in ways similar to how it does on Earth.
