Talk:Andoria

Notability concern[edit]

I've added a link to the article on Startrek.com I am not sure how to cite references for television episodes. could someone do so? --Ted-m 19:24, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is Andoria habitable ?[edit]

Since Andoria does not appear to have liquid water on its surface, how did life evolve there ? I thought icy moons orbiting gas giants were not normally considered good candidates for life as we know it. Am I wrong ? 200.177.195.27 17:42, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it evolved underneath the ice, or maybe the moon wasn't always frozen. Geothermal springs (which can also be found under the deep ocean on Earth) may have provided a source of heat (in Star Trek, geothermal vents are mentioned as existing on it), as well as gravitational interaction with it's gas giant parent planet. It is not impossible, some have even speculated the moon Europa, of Jupiter, in our own solar system, could have life under it's ice, if liquid water exists down there. Nobody knows for sure, though, but it is possible. mike4ty4 00:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming life evolved underneath the ice in Andoria, how would photosynthesis be possible without sunlight ? 161.24.19.82 17:19, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
