or more common than you think.......So life might be rarer in the Universe than you might think.

so how many stars are you talking about in the inner Universe ?The outer parts of the Universe are very old, too old to support life.
Carbon is the element life is based on: four valent hence methane CH4. It can form chains such as those found in petroleum products and rings: simple rings of atoms with one carbon atom sharing a bond with each of the the two carbon atoms next to it allowing other atoms to attach to the ring, two single valent bonds like the hydroxyl group (OH) or an oxygen using two valences. It also forms more complex rings where both single and double bonds form the ring of carbon atoms.
Hence organic chemistry is the study of molecules containing carbon atoms.
A planet around a too-bright sun or in an orbit too close to a sun like ours—carbon bonds will be broken.
The next item in the Periodic Table directly below carbon is silicon—also with four valences. Nothing to do with silicon has happened here.
THAT wasn't it.There have been many reports of UFO sightings across the Gold COast just in this last week. People have reported seeing a row of lights, moving together, slowly at first before speeding away. This is a photo of it below

turns out it's a part of Elon Musks' STARLINK programme, the photo is of 66 (?) satellites thay he has put into low Eart orbit, only part of the 597 satellites he plans to put up so as to give everyone on the planet free satellite internet access.
rubbish, that's only life as we know it......we don't even know what life is yet..... carbon everywhere in the universe though........Not only does life need a carbon basis of life but life also can only exist on a planet at just the right distance from its sun—need an Earth not a Venus nor a Mars while gas giants are out—massive gravity fields preventing upright posture, freeing forelimbs to become hands and arms, preventing big brains.
I saw a good quote recentlyyou do understand that research and observations of the Milky Way, and even further afield,
shows thousands of planets that can support life. As we think of it.
Literally thousands and thousands of Earth - like planets are out there. It is pretty obvious, that even in OUR small part of the galaxy ... LIFE abounds.
Why anyone would think we are unique>???? Religious bullshit..
There ARE untold numbers of planets out there that are approximate to EARTH.
Well DOH..!!! only a extremely partisan person, ( ie religious or just willfully STUPID) with no brains, would think we' re alone in this part of the Galaxy..
It does not compute.

nah he is in Perth.....No I'm not. You well may be, however.
Thousands of (now observed on RECORD) planets like Earth are out there , in just our tiny bit of the cosmos. Don't you keep up with news.?
