Eventually, our own sun will expand engulfing the inner planets. The zone where liquid water can exist on a planet's surface will expand as well, encompassing Jupiter or Saturn. Is it possible for complex organisms (like ourselves) to evolve on a moon of these gas giants? How would the gravitational forces of other moons in orbit effect longterm survival chances for species to develop?
