Scientists with expertise in geophysics at Washington State University have developed an alternative pathway for the transport of nutrients to the deep ocean under Europa’s exterior surface. Europa, ...

Europa might not be the best place to look for alien life in the solar system after all. A new study modeling what the floor of the Jupiter moon's hidden ocean is like concluded that tectonic activity ...

Alright, I tink it’s time for a change-up. Let’s do a little spring cleaning, and redecorate our Solar System. Now, I know you’re a big fan of the Moon, but it’s so last season. Let’s get something ...

Learn how cold-water geysers on Earth could give scientists a clear path in the search for extraterrestrial life on icy moons.

WASHINGTON -- Scientists said they have found evidence of water in the atmosphere of Jupiter's icy moon "Europa." NASA said its Hubble space telescope observed the presence of persistent water vapor ...

Using data gathered by NASA's Juno Jupiter orbiter, scientists estimate that Europa's ice shell is about 18 miles thick — which could make it hard for nutrients to get down to its buried ocean.

This artist's concept depicts NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft in orbit around Jupiter. The mission is targeting an Oct. 10, 2024, launch. automation Marking the latest foray into space exploration, ...

Laboratory experiments have re-created the surface of Europa, one of the four large moons of Jupiter, with a surprising result — Europa glows in the dark. While we typically see the side of Europa ...
