    Ok theres a earthlike, Gliese 581.

  • We have already discovered many Gas Giants orbitting their stars in the Goldilock's Zone. We rule out life on gas giants, but we know from Jupiter's example that Gas Giants should typically have several moons. If Jupiter were in Earth's orbit there's a stronger chance that its moons would have life. The Drake Equation doesn't seem to calculate for the large moons of Gas Giants having life. I think Life is probable in a lot more places than we currently think. Am I wrong about this?
