I have no idea on this one, but seeing the word Pellucidar here brings back fond memories of reading Edgar Rice Burroughs novels when I was in middle school and high school. I wonder if I would still get into them as much if I tried to read them today...

You'd probably cringe at how politically incorrect they are. The original Tarzans are very racist, more so than even the Weissmuller movies. Not so much, though, according to the attitudes of the era in which they were written. It's hard to read some of those early Conan novels, for instance.
As for the question, never heard of any of those. If forced to choose,
Eden Zone

You're gonna hate yourself. If it's not too hot for life, and it's not too cold for life, then is must be.... just right. D. The Goldilocks Zone.

I never hate myself, but the explanation makes sense. I guess those folks working in exoplanetology need to do something to entertain themselves.

Don't know this. Just don't. I'd like to use my PAF. Oh. I don't have one. Never mind.
