       Extraterrestrial #life has the potential to exist on distant #exoplanets inside the terminator zone, which is a ring on #planets that have one side that always faces its #star and one side that is always dark.Such planets are common because they exist around stars that make up about 70 percent of the stars seen in the night sky—so-called M-dwarf stars, which are relatively dimmer than our sun.#astronomyhttps://phys.org/news/2023-03-terminator-zones-distant-planets-harbor.htmlPaper by Lobo et al.

       @mustapipa Terminator zone is a new term for me, but this sounds really interesting.
