Are we alone in the universe? The quest for finding habitable zones has become one of the hottest topics in astronomy. To make this possible, scientists need to know where to look and what to look for. The search starts within our own solar system, but reaches far beyond it with the use of advanced technology, such as the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Factors such as star type, distance, planetary characteristics, and atmospheric composition and pressure are all crucial pieces of information that must be carefully considered. Join us on this journey as we explore the fascinating world of habitable zones.
