Hubble secret out!

Well, it ain't impossible that those gas gigants have moons. It is possible that the gravity of such a "super planet" could cause enough friction in an eventual moon that both survivable temperatures, and a protecting magnetic field could exist.

Just not very likely, though... :-D

Hum,
 don't know about that - i presume that the star systems too would have `Oort Clouds` (by default, in the process of planet formation)...and that some would have been captured by orbiting gas giants, and coalesced into miniature (awe) `planetary` systems...

And perhaps even as i speak/type the alien invasion fleet is being launch...

i look forward to the launch of the next generation space telescopes to find out.

Basically "not very likely"  means one in a million. And there are more than a million stars in the Milky way.
We shouldn't forget about the thousainds of systems that look very much like ours. That's where I'd look first!
