Visualization tool based on current astronomical estimates as of June, 2026.
1. The Universe
Modern baselines estimate 100-200 billion large galaxies, extending up to 2 trillion
when counting faint dwarf systems. Default: 2 Trillion (Conselice et al. upper
bound)
Milky Way has 100-400 billion. Mainstream cosmic models average across dwarf and
giant galaxies. Default: 200 Billion (Conservative Cosmic Average)
Kepler data shows a statistical average of at least 1 to 2 planets per star across
the cosmos. Default: 1.0 (Conservative Kepler Baseline)
Fraction of stars hosting a rocky planet in the "Goldilocks"
zone. Default: 0.37 (Conservative limit via NASA Kepler/Bryson et al.
analysis)
