I agree with this hypothesis. I've always felt that a lot of the real action could very well reside within large moons capable of holding on to atmospheres as they orbited large gas giants that in turn were orbiting within a star's water zone. I have in fact painted similar scenarios for decades, such as in my recent "hyped-up" Avatar-like illustration I created back in 1979, thirty years ago. http://orionworks.com/artgal/svj/path_m.htm Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
