Summary:
- The traditional "Goldilocks zone" - the habitable region around a star where conditions are just right for liquid water and potentially life - may not be the best place to search for alien life.
- Researchers suggest that life could potentially exist in places previously considered too hot or too cold, such as the subsurface oceans of icy moons or the atmospheres of gas giant planets.
- By expanding the search for life beyond the Goldilocks zone, scientists may be able to find a wider variety of potentially habitable environments and increase the chances of discovering extraterrestrial life.
