This newly-discovered exoplanet is an Earth-sized version of Jupiter's notoriously volcanic moon Io, with one important difference: it just might be habitable.The tidal pull of an immense neighbor keeps exoplanet LP 791-18d's interior hot and churning, turning its surface into a volcanic hellscape.According to a recent study, however, the planet's violent volcanism may actually make it a possible, albeit very weird, home for alien life.
