I was just reading an article on yahoo!news, when I came across this passage:
As our sun expands, the spherical boundary within which liquid water can exist, called the habitable zone, will also expand, so that now frigid planets and moons in our solar system could become warm enough for life in the future.
"In our solar system, places like Europa--a satellite of Jupiter that now is covered by a thick layer of water ice--might warm up enough to support life for more than a billion years or so," Wolszczan said.
WATER ICE?? THEY GOTZ RITA'S ON JUPITER??!
