    Good luck finding a stable orbit for that. It’s hard enough to calculate our sun, earth and moon. With six bodies it’ll take a long while to calculate something that can last the billions of years needed for life to evolve.

    Maybe if one star is similar to our sun and the other similar to Jupiter it could work.

      Well, you have to assume that the orbit is stable, since life takes billions of years to evolve.

      Probably two stars orbiting each other (or a common center of gravity) and the earthlike planet is like 95% in the Goldilocks zone, like some periods of tropical climate and some of icy conditions.

      Or the system has one star like the sun in the center and another one far, far away, yet still orbiting.

      Would be a mathematical nightmare to calculate
