New research from NASA reveals that Europa’s ocean may contain the necessary balance of chemical energy for life, even if the moon lacks volcanic hydrothermal…
A new study suggests that compounds that might be indicative of life may be located within the scarred, jumbled areas that make up Europa’s so-called…
This 12-frame mosaic was taken by Galileo’s camera when the spacecraft was 94,000 kilometers from Europa, providing the highest resolution view ever obtained of the…
New research from NASA reveals that the dark material coating some geological features of Jupiter’s moon Europa is likely sea salt from a subsurface ocean,…
Data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft reveals that Europa contributes less material to its surrounding environment than previously thought. A fresh look at data collected by…
Using data from NASA’s Galileo orbiter, scientists have discovered clear visual evidence of Europa’s icy crust expanding. The discovery implies two-way communication between the exterior…
A new study reveals that radio signals generated from Jupiter could help researchers scan its giant moons for extraterrestrial life. Powerful radio signals that Jupiter…
In a newly published study, researchers using Hubble Space Telescope data report the detection of transient water vapor at Europa’s south pole. Though it’s five…
Using data from NASA’s Galileo mission, researchers have discovered clay-type minerals on the surface of Europa for the first time. A new analysis of data…
By using data from NASA’s Galileo spacecraft to analyze the distinctive cracks lining the surface of Europa, NASA scientists determined that Europa likely rotated around…
In a new study, researchers assessed the amount of sulfate hydrates (compared with relatively pristine water) in the surface ice in five widely distributed areas…
Using the Keck II Telescope, scientists analyzed data in the near-infrared range of light from Europa, finding that peroxide is widespread across much of the…
