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 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 ...

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 ...

NASA's Europa Clipper has embarked on its long voyage to Jupiter, where it will investigate Europa, a moon with an enormous subsurface ocean that may have conditions to support life. The largest ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — NASA’s Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter’s ocean moon is not looking for life, but will see if life could be possible there. It’s a step that could help the bigger hunt ...

Although Jupiter's moon Europa looks alien to us, it contains an ingredient familiar to us: sodium chloride, otherwise known as good ol' table salt. Although Jupiter's moon Europa looks alien to us, ...

Please join the Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology on Thursday, May 1 at 11 a.m. for the seminar "What lies beneath Europa’s ice shell: linking interior structure to ocean circulation and ...

It may not seem like it at first, but the discovery about the moon's dark spots is a significant piece to the puzzle as to whether Europa harbors life. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share ...

Turbulent, swirling currents in Europa's subsurface sea may influence the spin and geology of the moon's icy crust. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
