A Better Metric Might Assess The Habitability of Exoplanets: What You Need to Know
The new three-parameter metric has been introduced by researchers based in England, where this metric will likely be successful in assessing the habitability.

Habitable Zone Explained: The ‘Goldilocks Zone’ Where Life-Friendly Planets May Exist
The habitable zone, or “Goldilocks zone”, is the region around a star where conditions allow liquid water to exist. Varying with star type, this zone is key in the search for life. Earth’s location in the Sun’s habitable zone has made life possible, and astronomers seek similar rocky exoplanets in other systems to explore the possibility of...

Scientists Explore Role of Space Radiation in Powering Alien Microbial Life
A new study proposes that life may exist far from sunlight in a “radiolytic habitable zone” deep beneath the icy surfaces of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Cosmic rays, which can penetrate rock and ice, break water molecules apart to release hydrogen, oxygen, and energy-rich electrons. These can fuel microbes in subsurface water, much like bacter...

Florida Man Breaks Into Random House To Avoid Angry Wife. This Happens Next
A 44-year-old Florida man snuck into a random house to avoid going home to his angry wife following a quarrel. Joe broke into a house in Davenport, stayed there for several days, cooked meals and even had a luxurious bath.

India's 'Goldilocks' Economy To Prompt RBI To Keep Key Rates Unchanged
Strong economic growth and moderating inflation means India's central bank will have room to keep interest rates on hold at its review this week and likely until July, economists say.

Scientists Discover Possible "Ocean World" 100-Light Years Away From Earth
A team of researchers have recently discovered a planet about 100 light years away from Earth that they believe could be completely covered in water. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the planet - called TOI-1452 b - is believed to be 70% larger than Earth and is located in a "Goldilocks zone," where temperature...

What’s It Like to Be on Venus or Pluto? We Studied Their Sand Dunes and Found Some Clues
A new study has explained how sand dunes can provide insight into weather and conditions one might experience while standing on a far-off planetary body. For dunes to exist, planets should pass a pair of “Goldilocks” criteria. The presence of such dunes on Venus, Earth, Mars, Titan, Triton (Neptune’s largest moon) and Pluto have given new hop...

NASA Planet Hunting Satellite TESS Finds Earth-Sized World in 'Goldilocks Zone'
NASA's planet hunter satellite TESS has discovered an Earth-sized world within the habitable range of its star, which could allow the presence of liquid water.

New 'Goldilocks' For Habitable Planets Found?
The search for habitable, alien worlds needs to make room for a second "Goldilocks," according to a new study which suggests that simply being in the habitable zone is not sufficient for planets to support life.

Scientists Propose New Theory About How Life Originated on Earth
Researchers said hydrocarbons and other products were transported to Earth by asteroids or comets, and continued to evolve in the planet's unique "goldilocks" conditions.

Closest 'Potentially Habitable' Planet Found 14 Light Years Away
Astronomers have discovered the closest potentially habitable planet found outside our solar system, orbiting a star just 14 light years away.

'Nasa Closer Than Ever to Finding Earth's Twin'
Two of the eight planets recently spotted are the most Earth-like of any known planets found so far outside our solar system.

Eight New Planets Found in Possible Life-Bearing Zones
Eight new planets have been found orbiting their stars in the so-called "Goldilocks zone," neither too hot nor too cold for water and possibly life to exist, astronomers said on Tuesday.

The oceans will evaporate, but not anytime soon
Those are the conclusions of a new study into the so-called Goldilocks zone -- the distance from a star at which water on a rocky planet can exist as a liquid rather than as permanent ice or vapour.

Barack Obama out to seize momentum from Mitt Romney in second debate
The pressure is on President Barack Obama to deliver a Goldilocks performance in the second debate: Not too cool, as he was in his first, listless encounter with Mitt Romney. And not too hot, as some critics styled Vice President Joe Biden in his faceoff with Paul Ryan.
