Nice job. I'm never failed to be impressed by any representation of the scale of space. It's humbling every single time.

Question though.

For Venus I saw Life Probability: 31.3% and Mars I saw Life Probability: 0.0%,

Isn't the likelihood of life greater for Mars? I thought Venus was the hottest planet in our solar system (hotter than Mercury even), so how could it possibly be more probable to have life than Mars (a planet that humans are hoping to get to)?

Yes, so I added some super rudimentary simulations. I am reading into astrobiology at the moment, so I should probably put a huge asterisk on those numbers.

If you generate random systems, there's a random atmosphere generation that also plays into it. But I think maybe in the default solar system I should be a bit more conservative with the phrasing.

Thank you for checking it out. And your feedback!

And yes, I fully agree that space is fascinating. One of my obsessions for sure
