Smaller pockets of liquid water—some of which could reach a balmy 68 degrees Fahrenheit—can concentrate collections of life-sustaining nutrients, improving the odds simple organisms could evolve.
that’s surprising to hear about another celestial body; they’re usually too extremely hot or cold.
It seems like a lot of the moons in the outer solar system may have oceans that are just right. They get heated through tidal forces, and have liquid water along with volcanic vents similar to what we have in deep oceans where there’s lots of life around them.
