Potentially Habitable Moons
I choose to view this article because the thought of another possible home for human survival is incredible, a sy-fy movie come true. Upon reading the page, I learned that a mission, called the Galileo Mission, to Jupiter, lead to the discovery of ocean of liquid waters and signs of Ganymede's interior seas. In the case of Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, the Cassini probe discovered erupting fountains of water ice. Looking into Titan, the large moon covers up surface lakes of frigid but still liquid hydrocarbons with it's dense atmosphere. These sources of water is what in vital in the survival of life. All these facts have lead researchers to believe that there is more habitable exomoons than there are exoplanets.
Very insightful! I also feel stunned that there is a possibility that we could possibly habit somewhere besides the Earth. With the possibility of living on moons there is a chance life besides humans are out there.
