` Highly recommended` Financial Times Today we know of only a single planet that hosts life: the Earth. But across a Universe of at least 100 billion possibly habitable worlds, surely our planet isn`t the only one that, like the porridge Goldilocks sought, is just right for life? Astrobiologists search the galaxy for conditions that are suitable for life to exist, focusing on similar worlds located at the perfect distance from their Sun, within the aptly named ` Goldilocks Zone`. Such a place might have liquid water on its surface, & may therefore support a thriving biosphere. What might life look like on other worlds?
