It may be too soon to ask this question, but learning about Jupiter's 
magnetic field, and specifically its intense aurora, got me thinking in a 
scifi vein. Could people live in Jupiter's vicinity, or would the 
electromagnetic field(or some other factor) make it uninhabitable? Not 
including factors such as the psychological impact of the Red Spot glaring 
at you. :)
