Europa may be one of the most promising places in our solar system to find present-day. Jan 23, 2026new research suggests pockets of europa's icy surface may slowly sink, helping deliver life-supporting chemicals to its hidden subsurface ocean. Europa's icy surface may cover an ocean that could potentially host life.
The european space agency (esa) and nasa have each launched missions to visit europa and investigate its habitability. 2 hours agoeuropa has always been the solar system’s most tantalizing “maybe.” this jovian moon almost certainly hides a massive, salty ocean beneath its frozen exterior, which makes a prime. Europa is the smallest of jupiter’s galilean moons and the second closest, however it is still the sixth largest moon in the solar system.
Europa is known for being one of the first worlds a subsurface. 1 day agoeuropa’s ice may be quietly delivering life-sustaining nutrients to a hidden ocean beneath the surface. Europe is a continent [t] located entirely in the northern hemisphere and mostly in the eastern hemisphere.
