And just how do they ascertain a "habitable zone"? There are many very narrow variables necessary to sustain life here on earth. What is the termperature there? The atmosphere?, the gravity? The level of radiation? The tilt of the planet on its axis? etc. etc.
I wouldn’t hop up and down yet shouting that we’ve found a second Earth. There are other factors, like our own Moon, that contribute greatly to habitability.
Does Bekin or Mayflower run that route? I’m ready!
We’ll just have to go and take a look-see.................
Moon? Gotta have a moon for all the know reasons in atmosphere formation etcetera.

I wonder if people who have spent their entire lives dedicated to this field of study would think of questions like this or even better, more technical ones.
It basically related the mass and brightness of the star and the distance of the planet.
