Question	—	Is there a plausible way to have a Gas Giant with two or more earth to mars sized moons orbiting it in the Habitable zone? A hypothetical scenario I'm batting around in my head is a Habitable Gas Giant system consisting of a roughly Saturn sized body orbiting a sun like star at a comfy goldilocks zone distance. Orbiting this planet are two Massive moons, one roughly 70-80% the mass of the earth and the other between 20-3... (more)	—	over 4 years ago
Question	—	What influences Trojan Asteroid density? I'm putting together a solar system for a story I'm working on, and in this solar system the most important planet is a particularly large Ice giant and its big moon nestled in the star's habitable zone (the sun is basically identical to ours). I wanted to ask about Trojan Asteroids, I'm trying to u... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Feasible colony on a close, tidally locked planet dark side? Imagine a terrestrial planet extremely close to its star (assume it's identical to the Sun to make this simpler), maybe a bit like Kepler-78b but with an orbit of only about a week, for the purposes of a story. I'm thinking of an advanced alien species that has plopped a small base there so they obse... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Red giant Habitable zone I was looking a bit at the evolution of Stars and one thing I sometimes see floated is this idea that in the far flung future, when the sun has ballooned into a red giant and the earth burned to a crisp, the solar system's habitable zone has moved far out enough that Saturn's moon Titan has become a ...

Question	—	Interlocking, ultra-high forest, is it possible? I was trying to create a world that has extensive massive rain-forests unlike anything on earth where the trees interlock with thick branches to allow them to rise much higher into the air (several hundred meters) and provide stable support. This is heavily inspired by a hypothetical alien planet I s... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Could a Neptune like Gas Giant support life? I was trying to put together an idea for a Gas Giant like planet that could possibly support some kind of fairly complex life, and I hit upon a few ideas: -Located in a habitable zone roughly similar to Earth -Composition and Structure roughly similar to Neptune or Uranus The basic idea here is th...
