Free-Floating Planets: Could Their Moons Be the Key to Life in the Universe?

According to astrophysicist Giulia Roccetti & her colleagues, moons orbiting rogue planets and staying warm for over a billion years could potentially create habitable conditions for life. These findings were presented at the Planet-ESLAB 2023 Symposium & published in the International Journal of Astrobiology. It’s to be noted that the habitable conditions must be stable for hundreds of millions or billions of years for life to thrive. Some of the 100 starless planets may have moons that can be warm & hospitable. There may be as many free-floating planets as there are stars in the galaxy, as per computer simulations. … Continue reading Free-Floating Planets: Could Their Moons Be the Key to Life in the Universe?
