Jupiter's Europa moon is covered by an icy outer shell believed to be housing a global ocean beneath it, where life could exist. New observations on the moon's surface reveal that the icy shell might have shifted as much as 80 degrees in a matter of only 60 million years, supporting the idea that an ocean m... |

Typical cameras on-board orbiters sent in solar system exploration missions can only map the surface of a planet or a moon. Scientists seldom get the opportunity to look under the surface of a cosmic body without actually landing a robotic mission on the respective planet, and even so it would only be effective in st... |

The moon Titan is the largest of all about 60 natural satellites orbiting around Saturn. In fact, it is larger than the smallest planet in the solar system, Mercury. Also, Titan is the only moon in the solar system known to have a thick atmosphere around it, filled with organic molecules, precursors to the appearance... |

Images of one of Saturn's moon, brought back by NASA's Cassini orbiter, have recently spawn some of the most fierce debates regarding the solar system exploration program. German astrophysicists argue that there is conclusive evidence that Enceladus, a small moon measuring only 504 kilometers in diameter, m... |

We've looked and searched our extraterrestrial cousins throughout the whole solar system, and found no evidence that life may exist in our solar system, beyond the borders of our atmosphere. Only one body seems to present a final hope. One of Jupiter's many moons, Europa. The European Space Agency and NASA ... |

Jupiter's natural satellite Europa, may be the only body in the solar system, except Earth, to have a liquid water ocean inside which life could have appeared and evolved. In order to study the remote satellite, scientists have designed a probe similar to a submarine, which will be deployed to Jupiter's moo... |

Jupiter's natural satellite Europa, is the only cosmic body in the solar system that might have an ocean of liquid water under its frozen surface, except for Earth. This represents a great opportunity for astrobiologists who believe that in the ocean life might be present, as diverse as in the oceans on Earth. H... |

NASA has funded an expedition to search for the submerged bottom of the deepest sinkhole on Earth, El Zacatón, in Mexico. A robotic submarine will try to find out more about the geothermal sinkhole and what lives down there.A sinkhole, also known as a cenote, is a natural depression or hole in the surface topography... |

You probably know Europa, though she's not a star... not even a planet in space.Europa is a moon of the planet Jupiter. It is the sixth nearest moon to Jupiter, and the fourth largest of Jupiter's moons. It was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei (and independently by Simon Marius shortly thereafter) and... |

Many scientists think that if on the Sun system there were another body than Earth harboring life, that would be Europa, the fourth largest of Jupiter's satellites. A salty ocean was found beneath its icy surface. Europa compasses all the ingredients life requires: liquid water, an energy source (delivered by th... |
