Life May Thrive in "Terminator Zones" on Distant Planets, Say Astronomers.

A new study has found that the thin twilit zone where day meets night, known as the terminator, on closely-orbiting, duel-personality exoplanets may be habitable. The team employed modified climate modeling software usually used for Earth to determine if there's any way such worlds could be habitable. Interestingly, the team's work showed that more water was likely to render eyeball planets less habitable. The team's research has been published in The Astrophysical Journal.
