duration/ Data collected by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, along with other observatories around planets outside our solar system, revealed that Earth is one of approximately 40 billion potentially viable planets in our Milky Way, with about one planet that it forms capable of sustaining life every year. .
According to the Jeddah Astronomical Society, this information affects everyone on Earth, but taking into account that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is over 100,000 light years in diameter and that light travels at around 186,000 miles per second.
So it would take 4 years for the radio signal to reach the nearest star system called Alpha Centauri and 100,000 years to travel from one side of the galaxy to the other.

Intelligent civilizations are expected to be separated by at least 1,000 light years in the Milky Way, which is a great distance.
According to expert astronomer Majed Abu Zahira, the available example is Earth because everyone knows that life will appear and continue as long as conditions are suitable, but healthy life has flourished at a later time.
And the signals sent by humans decades ago into space may be the only ones in our Milky Way.
But that doesn’t mean stopping the research: with the development of wireless communications, radio astronomy and data collection techniques, all of them need to be adapted to seek a healthy life in space, and this is what has actually been done within the “City” program more than 60 years ago to date.
