Stars like ours, the best places to find intelligent life off Earth

Sun-like stars aren’t exactly common in the galaxy, further reducing the chances of finding intelligent life elsewhere, but it may help narrow down the search.

A new study has found that the most probable place to find intelligent life in the galaxy is around stars with roughly the mass of the sun, and surface temperatures between 5,300 and 6,000 Kelvin (9,100 and 10,300 degrees Fahrenheit) – in fact, stars very similar to our own sun.
