While two thirds of exoplanets may be a fiery, boiling wasteland, scientists believe the other third occupy a "just right" goldilocks orbit around their star, and this, much like Earth's orbit, could provide the right environmental support for life.

Exploring these possible life-abodes will take decades, but it could be as high as 300 million in our galaxy alone.
