Astronomers define the 'really habitable zone': Planets capable of producing gin and tonic

https://phys.org/news/2020-04-astronomers-habitable-zone-planets-capable.html

"For these authors, an exoplanet is only in the RHZ if it can provide gin and tonic. Once a planet can provide that, it moves from habitable to really habitable. Maybe a planet without gin and tonic isn't really habitable at all; maybe it's more of place where we'd like to send people we don't like. The new paper is titled "Defining the Really Habitable Zone." The lead author of the paper is Marven F Pedbost."

I could not resist this report :)--Rod
