| Re: Speaking of Reach's moons. *IMGs* | |

In Response To: Re: Speaking of Reach's moons. *IMGs* (Stephen L. (SoundEffect)) : They'd probably have to be habitats and not habitable moons of their own. We : know from Jupiter that humans could not survive on the moons there, even : if they were habitable as Jupiter's immense radiation belt around itself : is slow-cooking the surfaces of those moons, keeping Io particularly : volcanic. The so called humans out that way during things like the : "Jovian Moons campaign" must be on sealed, radiation-hardened : habitats. If our own system's gas giants are typical, easily habitable : moons around gas giants would be problematic. That ringed body is not Jupiter and may have a very much weaker magnetosphere. In addition, if Reach is in orbit around it then it is very far out; it would be beyond any serious tidal or radiation effects and Reach would have its own magnetosphere to deflect particles. Maybe all that wispy stuff that we see in LNoS is an aurora-ish effect caused by the interaction of the two magnetospheres and the solar wind. There are interesting comments here, food for thought. http://www.space.com/common/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21580 Considering that Reach is very massive and its distance from the ringed body, if the ringed body is a gas giant then Reach may be an extra-system captive. http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=175912
