Probably not. At least not earth like. Planets have to be sufficiently large to maintain an atmosphere.

It may be possible for one like an ice moon to harbor life, but it needs something to generate heat and prevent the ocean from freezing solid.

I suppose there could also be a situation where the planet is sufficiently large to retain an atmosphere, but somehow hasn’t cleared it’s orbit.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
