Using the new Kepler data, astrobiologist Amri Wandel did some calculations to estimate the density of life-bearing worlds in our corner of the universe. The exciting news is there are probably millions to billions of biotic planets in the Milky Way. But before we start packing our bags, a sobering reality check: Our corner of the cosmos may be dark.
