- Abstract
The classical HZ definition makes a number of assumptions common to the Earth. We discuss these and the observations needed to test them. We also discuss how next-generation missions are only the beginning of a much more data-filled era in the near future, allowing us to actually determine which planets are most likely to exhibit life.
