The ideal discovery would be a planet similar in composition to Earth that lies within the Goldilocks Zone and orbits a stable star.

理想的情况是这样的：在居住区内发现和地球组成结构类似的行星，并且围绕稳定的恒星公转。

Such a planet would fall into the so-called "Goldilocks zone" (neither too hot nor too cold) where the interesting chemistry should happen.

这样的一颗行星就会处于所谓的“适居带”(不会太热也不会太冷)，在那里，有趣的化学反应有可能会出现。

The planet is in the "Goldilocks zone" of space around a star where surface temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water to form.

这颗行星幸运的位于其恒星附近的“可居住带”，地表温度适中，这使液体水的形成成为了可能。

This range is called the habitable zone - or colloquially, the Goldilocks zone.

That means its Goldilocks zone is so close to it that the planet may be tidally locked, as the moon is to the Earth.

ECONOMIST: Another Earth?

Astronomers call the most promising of these places "Goldilocks planets, " because they orbit in a temperate zone not too hot and not too cold to support liquid water essential for carbon-based life as we know it.
