As the dominant species on a planet we’ve effectively trashed, humans are always looking for new planets and moons that we could call home (and eventually ruin) in the distant future. Astronomers suspect that certain Exomoons - natural satellites that orbit exoplanets - could be candidates.

Given that over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered, one of their moons must be habitable, right? Some may even already be home to extraterrestrial life. That’s a problem for future humans to resolve (undoubtedly through war).
In the short term, we can make believe that our new Exomoon home would be similar to the luscious green forest moon of Endor in the Star Wars universe. In reality, we’re probably Darth Vader, and we’d probably nuke the ewoks rather than sing songs with them.
