Sometimes inquisitive people come to alt.astronomy
and pose questions about the "Drake equation".
There's a lot of mystery that surrounds this formula,
and Carl Sagan made a short film to help lift the
shroud of darkness and explain the various factors of
this fascinating bit of basic algebra. It's a whole lot
easier to understand than one might think...

And it's also one of the most speculative ideas in the
science of astronomy.
Please enjoy!
happy days and...
starry starry nights!
