Life Without a Sun? Scientists Discover Habitable Exomoons for Billions of Years!
•
Scientists from LMU University and Max Planck Institute found exomoons orbiting free-floating planets can be habitable for billions of years.

•
Free-floating planets are ejected from star systems during formation, sometimes carrying their moons into deep space.
•
Tidal heating occurs as moons' elliptical orbits around free-floating planets generate internal friction, warming them without a star.
