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?

It’s just safe to assume that what worked for us would work for others

If a planet has similar conditions to our own then we could expect organisms similar to ours to exist there, with slight variation of course
