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 ...

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 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 ...
