In their paper, the co-authors argue that gravitational tidal heating caused by the gravitational friction of an earth-like exo-moon on an eccentric orbit around a Jupiter-like planet lying at a Jupiter-like distance from its parent star, could, in fact, create habitable conditions.

In a conference room, looking through a wall of glass into the Messenger mission-control center, Solomon described his fascination with the parched and moon-like planet, which is a sister of Earth.
Scientists will then be able to use those measurements to produce a gravitational map of the Moon, just like GRACE did for the Earth.
