Being that close to a gas giant may have some other unforeseen consequences on that moon. I imagine that Jupiter heats the insides of this moon just from tidal forces. From the surface of this moon the sun would like like a distant star, Jupiter would be it's "sun" so to speak. Pretty interesting. All we need now is some orchestra music and some black monoliths.

EDIT - Just read the entire article. Pretty interesting that Jupiter bombards its moons with radiation. Second sun indeed.

I know, I thought that, too! Haha
