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

966 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?

Stand too close to the camp fire(Sun), you get burned.

Stand too far away from the camp fire, you are freezing.

Stand Juusstt close enough to the campfire in the goldilocks zone, and you feel warm and cozy for life.
