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 ...

The huge ocean sloshing beneath the ice shell of the Jupiter moon Europa may be intriguingly similar to the seas of Earth, a new study suggests. Scientists have generally thought that sulfate salts ...

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 ...

A new study by researchers at Caltech and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, indicates that the subterranean world ocean on Jupiter's moon Europa may be more Earthlike than ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Observations from the Hubble Space Telescope point to the presence of sodium chloride on the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. This is potential evidence that sodium chloride, otherwise known as ...

The late 2030s are a realistic launch target for an alien-ocean explorer, should NASA choose to develop one. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

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 ...
