CONT

Certaines [exoplanètes] sont en orbite dans la zone habitable de leur étoile (la zone où de l'eau liquide peut exister), mais la plupart sont des géantes gazeuses, impropres à la vie. Possèdent-elles tout de même des satellites, ou exolunes, qui pourraient abriter la vie? La question alimente de nombreuses recherches, notamment depuis qu'on a montré il y a quatre ans que les exolunes assez massives sont détectables par le télescope spatial Kepler, lancé en 2009.
