Astronomers have discovered thousands of exoplanets in the Milky Way, many of which are relatively close to the Solar System and have planets in their habitable zones. There are two major threats to the habitability and stability of a star system: close encounters with other stars and nearby detonating supernovae. Astronomers evaluated 84 star systems within about 600 light-years of Earth and found that they all seem to have low risks from passing (or exploding) stars.
