Exomoons Could Be Habitable for Billions of Years, Provided they have Hydrogen Atmospheres Liquid water is considered essential for life. Surprisingly, however, stable conditions that are conducive to life could exist far from any sun. A research team from the Excellence Cluster ORIGINS at LMU and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) has shown that moons around free-floating planets can keep their water oceans liquid for up to 4.3 billion years by virtue of dense hydrogen atmospheres and tidal heating—that is to say, for almost as long as Earth has existed and sufficient time for complex life to develop.

Life without a sun? Impossible! Or not...

Isolated worlds could stay warm for up to 4.3 billion years.
Hydrogen can trap heat, keeping oceans liquid – the foundation of life.
Life might not just circle stars, it could wander the galaxy 🌍✨

The ambitious plan to spot habitable moons around giant planets So far, humanity has yet to find its first "exomoon"—a moon orbiting a planet outside of the solar system. But that hasn't been for lack of trying. According to a new paper by Thomas Winterhalder of the European Southern Observatory and his co-authors, which is available on the arXiv preprint server, the reason isn't because those moons don't exist, but simply because we lack the technology to detect them. They propose a new "kilometric baseline interferometer" that can detect moons as small as Earth up to 200 parsecs (652 light years) away.

Worlds beyond worlds? 🪐 We haven't found exomoons yet, not for lack of them! New tech could reveal Earth-sized moons 652 light-years away. ✨ #Exomoons

Did JWST find an exomoon or a starspot? Searching for exomoons—moons that orbit around another planet—was one of the most exciting capabilities expected of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) when it launched in late 2021. So, after four years of operation, why hasn't it found one yet? Turns out it's really, really hard to find a moon around a planet light-years away.

🌌 JWST hunts for exomoons—moons orbiting distant worlds! It's proving *incredibly* challenging to find these hidden companions light-years away… 🤔 #Exomoons
