Why do we look for life on ‘goldilocks’ planets?

969 views

I think the proper term is circumstellar habitable zone. If there is other life out there, why are we assuming that it’ll have the same basic needs as our animals? The universe is seemingly infinite, and there’s endless possibilities of what’s out there, so why do we only consider planets that are the ‘perfect’ distance away from their star?

Because we’re looking for life as we know it. We’re not looking for other forms of life because we don’t know what to look for.
