Thats the "goldilocks zone", chaka.
And heres the drake equation,,, it was around before the rapper...
The Drake equation is:
where:
N = the number of
civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible (i.e. which are on our current past
light cone);and
R[SUP]*[/SUP] = the average number of
star formation per year in
our galaxyf[SUB]
p[/SUB] = the fraction of those stars that have
planetsn[SUB]
e[/SUB] = the average number of planets that can potentially support
life per star that has planets
f[SUB]
l[/SUB] = the fraction of planets that could support life that actually develop life at some point
f[SUB]
i[/SUB] = the fraction of planets with life that actually go on to develop
intelligent life (civilizations)
f[SUB]
c[/SUB] = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
L = the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space[SUP]
