Dozens of exoplanets orbit stars in 'habitable zones,' where liquid water could exist. These discoveries, made by powerful telescopes, suggest Earth-like worlds may be common, fueling the search for extraterrestrial life.
Over 5,500 exoplanets, worlds beyond our solar system, have been found since 1992. Dozens reside in 'habitable zones' – orbital distances where temperatures are just right for liquid water, a key ingredient for life. These 'Goldilocks zones' offer the potential for Earth-like conditions.
