Am I being ridiculous thinking this page has a strong bias toward human life? Forget genuine aliens, even chemotrophs are evidently not considered "life". TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 21:35, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Completely agree -- even the assertion that solar satellites are incapable of supporting life is unproven at best, and evidently false at worst. If true, why is Europa, Enceladus and even underground Mars still considered as plausible locations for life to currently exist? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.194.235.104 ( talk) 02:23, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
7% of Earth's mass, radius, gravity, atmosphere, what? — Tamfang ( talk) 01:43, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
This article seems to be talking about to things at the same time. In the top part it is talking about moon that might have life on them in this solar system, but in the bottom part it is talking about planets that are more earth-like in other solar systems. Both ones are good things to talk about but how shall we organize them? For example none of the moons in the top part fit the criteria in the bottom part.

This is a very bad fork of Planetary habitability at present. I'm tempted to say it's unneeded but there are certain issues that may be better covered on a separate page, particularly more complicated orbital arrangements and gaseous moons.
For consistency in naming, I suggest "Natural satellite habitability" as a starting point for this. Any objections? Listsshown ( talk) 17:54, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
This section makes a big fuss about axial tilt, without making any real link with effects, if any, on habitability. Is it trying to say that the climate of natural satellites are more stable like Earth than say Mars, because it doesn't really come across that way with awkward wording such as "Provided gravitational interaction of a moon with other satellites can be neglected" really detracting from the message. There is one mention of "moderate climate variations" on Earth, but no connection to habitability of either other planets or moons. Why is it assumed that stable climate is a criteria for life ? On Earth, life has survived radical climate variation, including Snowball Earth episodes, variations which were both rapid and not a direct result of axial tilt. I would think that orbit would play more of a role. Climate variation has been shown to stimulate evolution of life, forcing it to adapt to vastly different environments. .... -- EvenGreenerFish ( talk) 03:38, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

I made a new art piece of much better quality and being much more up to date.
. Should we use it?-- Bubblesorg ( talk) 21:42, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
Both topics overlap. The likelihood to find life in specific celestial bodies go at their dedicated articles, but if we talk from a general perspective there's no clear difference between "Exomoons" (natural satellites outside the Solar System) and "natural satellites" (all of them, in and out the Solar System). Even more so as by now, unlike exoplanets, there are no confirmed exomoon detections. Cambalachero ( talk) 14:46, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
