 | An interesting side thought has to do with the viability of an earth type planet in orbit of a red dwarf for the planet to recieve enough energy for water to remain in a liquid state it would have to orbit so close to its star as to be tidaly locked with one side to the star and the other always in darkness this would be a poor place to hope to find a viable biosphere However what if instead this world was in fact a moon in orbit of a giant planet within the stars lifezone? this would seem to solve the tidal lock problem. Someone tell me what I'm missing here Im sure theres something wrong with this scenerio
