SYDNEY, (AFP) - Australian astronomers say have pinpointed an area of the Milky Way that is most likely to support alien life.
"Our Milky Way galaxy is home to hundreds of billions of stars, but until recently astronomers could only guess as to how many are hospitable for the development of complex life," Charles Lineweaver, from University of New South Wales, said in a statement.
"What we have done for the first time is to quantify carefully where complex life is likely to exist."
Aliens are cool. :(
