The habitable zone is just the region where a planet can maintain liquid water on its surface. It's not from a star far away. It's within our region of the galaxy.

@Aviatorsmith Provide evidence or your comment will be removed.

@field16 Google habitable zone for the definition of habitable zone. The second part of my comment is on the range of the Kepler telescope. The telescope which found Kepler 22b only searches a small section of the sky within Orion's arm within a limited range. That's an area limitation and a distance limitation which explains why it's not from a star far away on a galactic scale. Google contains your evidence. It's fact, not speculation.

@Aviatorsmith You made the statement, so the burden is on you to provide evidence, or else I will remove your comment, as I believe it is unscientific.

Remember, facts are provable using science. Since we have found life on only one planet in the entire universe, there is no way science can replicate your claim about a habitable zone. There is only one habitable zone that we know of, so there is not enough data to prove your claim. We need more samples.

Of course you don't just come out and say it, but what you've done is put together a bunch of loosely related facts and ideas and implied that NASA's discovery is a conspiracy and that scientists just make stuff up. You've made it quite apparent that you either lack a basic understanding of astronomy astrophysics, or you know and are choosing to disregard this knowledge.

@serpentinepoisen Scientists do not "just make stuff up". Scientists explain discoveries in a way that other scientists may confirm the findings independently. Science is repeatable. If a claim cannot be independently verified, it's not science, but religion. You either believe or you don't.

You do understand this clearly, right, Serpentine Poisen?

@field16 I am well aware that "scientists do not just make stuff up." My point is that your video implies that since it is hard to confirm and because someone drew a picture (which no one is denying), what NASA has done is disingenuous and unscientific.
