Sa se afle in zona galactica habitabila, potrivita pentru viata galactic habitable zone
An annular region of our Galaxy in which it has been hypothesized that conditions are best suited to the development and survival of life as we know it. The GHZ was first proposed in !! by Guillermo Gonzalez of "owa #tate $niversity and %onald &rownlee and 'eter (ard of (ashington $niversity) and has subse*uently been endorsed by a number of other researchers) including +harles ,ineweaver. -utside the galactic habitable zone .GHZ/) the theory goes) various factors make the existence of complex .multicellular/ life difficult if not impossible. The current GHZ is said to extend from 0 to ! kiloparsecs .12)333 to 1!)333 light4years/ from the galactic center) is widening with time) and is composed of stars that formed between 5 and 6 billion years ago. The GHZ is analogous to the much more well established concept of the habitable zone of a star.
According to the GHZ hypothesis) the width of the GHZ is controlled by two factors. The inner .closest to the center of the galaxy/ limit is set by threats to complex life7 nearby transient sources of ionizing radiation) including supernovae and gamma ray bursters) and comet impacts. #uch threats tend to increase close to the galactic center. The outer limit is imposed by galactic chemical evolution) specifically the abundance of heavier elements) such as carbon. you can8t be to far from the center) because you won8t get enough heavy elements from the lower number of dying stars in the spiral arms.
And they would wander into the inner #olar #ystem so fre*uently that such impacts might completely devastate Darth as often as once every 33)333 years 44 enough to make absolutely certain that metazoan life would never have the slightest chance to even start evolving on this planetA by Bruce Moomaw Cameron Park - May 2, 2000
