Potentially Habitable Moons
The concept of finding extraterrestrial life, or just finding another place in the universe to habitat has always been a fascinating study, a study known commonly as astrobiology. This study of finding new life and living places has led to new research suggesting that not only are there many moons that are easily inhabitable, such as Europa, Ganymede, etc but that there actually may be more inhabitable moons than there are inhabitable planets in the universe, at least within the stellar habitable zones that is. This concept was further emphasized just simply by observing certain moons within our own solar system alone, such as Europa, of which has a surface of majority water, like that of Ganymede's. Or from Enceladus, of which has water erupting from its surface in a warm climate. These examples show that, if we have this many in only our solar system, imagine just how many may be inhabitable in the entire universe. This leads to a likely expectation of more exomoon exploration in the future.
