What NASA Discovered on Jupiter’s Icy Moon Europa Is Stunning!

[@V101SPACE]

Which ocean world would you like to explore next? and do you think that below Europa's ice shell there is life? Let me know below! V

[@gzaneGD]

Earth

[@Drakey_Fenix]

Even if there is an ocean on Europa, it would be almost impossible to drill all the way through the thick ice crust without some really special equipment. I would be really nice to see in my lifetime, but I doubt it will happen. A laser would probably be the best bet for drilling.

[@tomservo5347]

The most stunning 'what if' about Europa is from Arthur C. Clarke's '2010: Odyssey Two' in which the Chinese Space Agency landed, drilled through the surface in order to extract water as propellant for the return journey to earth. The lights they used attracted some vine-like animal that lived in the liquid ocean beneath that destroyed their spacecraft. It makes sense that the ice shell could protect a liquid ocean from freezing while the pull of Jupiter would produce internal heat that could harbor life.

Heat. Either from a solid core with radioactive elements or from tidal stretching. Heat.....generating a form of cryotectonics keeping the surface recycled.

The thick layer of ice is the perfect protection from radiation. So I don't think that's an issue.

With thick ice shields, liquid water, heat source from volcanic activity under the water, plus magnetic fields from both Jupiter and itself, it's almost unimaginable that Europa doesn't have life evolved and living on it.
