Rocky planets like our Earth are significantly more complex than stars because they contain a much greater diversity of materials.
That operates over smaller scales than gravity, which explains why you and I are smaller than stars or planets.
What you want is just the right amount, and planets, it turns out, are just right, because they're close to stars, but not too close.
Well, planets are great, and our early Earth was almost perfect.

This is just a tiny part of the sky the Kepler stares at, where it searches for planets by measuring the light from over 150,000 stars, all at once, every half hour, and very precisely.
And so, we can't really look at planets around other stars in the same kind of detail that we can look at planets in our own solar system.
But what we can do in the meantime is measure the light from our stars and learn about this relationship between the planets and their parent stars to suss out clues about which planets might be good places to look for life in the universe.

[Why can't we see evidence of alien life?] Somewhere out there in that vast universe there must surely be countless other planets teeming with life.
In the past year, the Kepler space observatory has found hundreds of planets just around nearby stars.
And if you extrapolate that data, it looks like there could be half a trillion planets just in our own galaxy.
If any one in 10,000 has conditions that might support a form of life, that's still 50 million possible life-harboring planets right here in the Milky Way.
Countless other planets in our galaxy should have formed earlier, and given life a chance to get underway billions, or certainly many millions of years earlier than happened on Earth.

Those planets which are much closer to a star like the Sun would be so hot that our form of life wouldn't exist.
And those planets that are much farther away from the star, well they're so cold that, again, our form of life would not take hold.
