Mar 4, 2019 at 2:49 comment added Thesaurus Rex >"Apparently, tidally locked moons might have a chance to regulate temperature more easily through plate tectonics, but I believe it also means only one side of the moon is directed towards the sun" Incorrect. A moon tidally locked to a planet will rotate relative to the sun just like any object. Only tidally locked planets stay facing the sun.

removing "habitable" tag; we should assume all our worlds are inhabited by *something*, but the tag doesn't actually restrict it to humans
