Exoplanets and the search for life, sentence 3

Life as we know it needs liquid water, so scientists look for planets in the "Goldilocks zone", not too hot and not too cold, like Goldilocks' porridge.

Who acts: we, Life, scientists · What happens: know, need, look · To what, where: star, Goldilocks zone
