Answer to Question 1

NHP is the number of planets in the Milky Way that lie within the habitability zones of their parent stars. Currently, we have evidence for more than one thousand planets around other stars, and evidence for protoplanetary disks around many more stars. Although we cannot yet give a precise value to NHP, it now seems likely that it is quite largeperhaps as large as the number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.
