To date, astronomers have discovered about 2,000 extrasolar planets in our galaxy.
The Galactic Atlas is a research and publishing project of the International Cosmographic Society which aims to create a map of all the known planetary systems of our galaxy.
Scientists have estimated the first cosmic census of planets in our galaxy and the numbers are staggering: The Milky Way is estimated to contain about 400 billion stars and a minimum of 100 billion planets —and many of those could be habitable.
