Habitability of Jupiter's Moons
The only thing indicating life possible is two of Jupiter's moons, Europa and Ganymede, might have oceans of liquid water in contact with a rocky seafloor. That could potentially allow the kind of chemical reactions that led to the development of life on Earth. The rest of Jupiter's moons, including Io and Callisto and all it's other moons, do not have the necessary requirements of life. (Kelsey, and Trevor)
