Indeed, UV energy is very telling, and by way of excluding the vast majority(perhaps a thousandfold) of red giants that likely host the majority of planets, makes it possible to quantify on behalf of those larger and newer stars.

Oddly, at times our naked moon doesn't receive hardly any UV energy, at least according to Kodak and our NASA/Apollo era that supposedly walked on the most inert and minimal dust covered planetoid, that also had but a few meteorites and practically nothing all that basalt dark or paramagnetic to speak of.
