Europa's ocean may have the "necessary balance of chemical energy for life", according to new research by Nasa. A study modelling ocean conditions on the Jovian moon suggests that even though it "may ...

A new study of the oceans of Europa suggest oceans on that giant moon may be habitable. But is there life? The oceans of Europa may be habitable, according to a new model developed by NASA. This moon ...

Jupiter’s moon Europa is a prime candidate in the search for life. The frozen moon has a subsurface ocean, and evidence indicates it’s warm, salty, and rich in life-enabling chemistry. New research ...

The global ocean on Jupiter’s moon Europa contains about twice the liquid water of all the Earth’s oceans combined. New research suggests that there may be plenty of oxygen available in that ocean to ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists have figured out how the subsurface ocean on Jupiter's moon Europa may have formed and determined that this vast expanse of water may have been able to support ...

Jupiter’s moon Europa is a fascinating world, with a global subsurface ocean encased in an icy shell and plumes of water that vent into space. A new study has simulated how these plumes might ...

The vast, swirling ocean within Jupiter's moon Europa may be affecting the rotation of its icy crust, scientists say. New supercomputer-driven modeling suggests that the waters of the internal, global ...

Jupiter's icy moon Europa is an ocean world encased beneath a thick crust of ice -- a place where snow floats upward. The underwater snow forms in the global ocean and travels up though the water to ...

Eight distant worlds hold secrets that still puzzle scientists and spark endless curiosity. Each moon offers a strange allure ...

One of the first visitors to Jupiter's icy moon of Europa could be a tiny submarine barely larger than two soda cans. The small craft might help strike the right balance between cost and capability ...

In 1610, Galileo peered through his telescope and spotted four bright moons orbiting Jupiter, dispelling the long-held notion that all celestial bodies revolved around the Earth. In 2024, when ...

Europa, with an ocean hidden beneath a thick shell of ice, long has been viewed as a potential habitat for extraterrestrial life in our solar system, alongside other candidates such as Mars and Saturn ...
