The of life on a 🪐 requires not only that planetary conditions are conducive to life at the start, as it first evolves, but also that the planet remains 🌡️💧 subsequently, without interruption. This is because there has to be enough time to allow life to increase in from simple cells to more sophisticated single cells to multicellular life and eventually to life. ☀️ heating of today’s 🌍 is about 30% more intense 📈 than of the early Earth nature.com/articles/s43247-020

: The ' ,' or zone, is the range of distance with the right temperatures for water to remain liquid.

Discoveries in the Goldilocks Zone, like Earth-size planet Kepler-186f, are what scientists hope will lead us to water––and one day life.

The hunt for continues! Thanks to dedicated missions like Kepler, TESS, and Hubble, the number of confirmed extrasolar planets has exploded in the past fifteen years (with 5,272 confirmed and counting!).

Clay-bearing deposits in the Margaritifer region of that may have been repeatedly until relatively recently.

Rocky orbiting M-dwarf stars are among the most promising astronomical targets for detecting climates.

But they are also synchronously rotating eith significant day-night temperature differences, and potentially limited fractional .

However, for water-limited planets it is possible to have scorching temperatures in the "eye" and freezing temperatures on the nightside, while maintaining a temperate in the terminator region.

erupted by the TRAPPIST-1 could affect the interior heating of its orbiting .

For the closest to the star, interior heating due to ohmic dissipation from is significant and can drive geological activity.

The process is long-lived and can persist over geological timescales, potentially enabling the surface environment to evolve towards state.
