| 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. Actually, it's the tidal forces that are responsible for Io's vulcanism. The magnetic field and resultant massive radition belts have nothing to do with it, though they do make the environment in space around Jupiter and the surface of the Jovian moons very hazardous. In fact, Io's surface (well, anything not covered in fresh lava) has a temperature just as cold as Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto's. That being said, if a gas giant has a sufficiently large moon, said moon can retain enough heat to have a structure similar to Earth's and could thus potentially generate a magnetic field of its own (convection currents in its outer core as well as some rotation deriving from its orbit) to stave off the intense Jovian radiation.
