With NASA's James Webb telescope approaching, astronomers are working overtime to argue for the best targets of study in our night sky. What their number crunching has revealed, per Jamie Carter, is these super earth waterworlds are versatile in terms of hosting life-as-we-know-it and may redefine what humanity considers habitable.

This Veteran Science Writer Says We Won't Meet Intelligent Aliens, but it's not because they're wearing ultra-green ballcaps declaring "Make The Galaxy Great Again" and refusing vaccinations.
