Small Planets, Big Moons: The Key to Finding Life?

Finding planets that could support life is a tricky endeavor, with each planet-hunting method having its own limitations.

We've mostly found larger planets because our techniques favor them, but research suggests smaller planets, like Earth, might be more hospitable.

Earth's large moon plays a crucial role in stabilizing our climate, creating tides, and even protecting us from harmful space radiation.

A new study suggests that small planets are more likely to have large moons, making them prime candidates in the search for life-supporting worlds.
