Mountaintop and Extremely Large Telescope

Derrick, I think what you are referring to is the potential for G type stars (like our Sun)to have orbiting planets in the "goldie-locks" zone.

So far we have no way of knowing for sure. But you should read up on NASA's findings of potentially possible life on Titan one of Saturn's moons.

It is much closer and we can observe what is happening on the surface a lot easier than say Tau Ceti or Alpha Centari (other G - type stars)
