"Given that "other worlds" is generally understood to mean other planets..."

For long-term habitation, I guess moons are subject to much greater extremes of temperature than planets, so a moon replica of mother-Earth is out of the question. But does that disqualify them as "worlds", Dave? Rumour has it that several moons of Jupiter and Saturn are a lot less uninhabitable than their gas-giant planets.
