What are some factors that affect the habitable zone and why is it important to life on Earth? Give an example of an organism that has defied the odds of existence based on their habitat (i.e. an organism lives in a place we would not expect anything to live, do not use an organism listed in the module). Where do you think we should be looking for ETs and what do you think they would most likely look like?

*Your answer should show that you understand what the habitable zone is, why liquid water is important, what types of organisms ‘defy the odds’ by living outside of this zone, and how the habitable zone may help us in locating ETs
