Europa is one of Jupiter’s 95 moons, and, perhaps, among the planet’s most famous orbiters. It’s covered in a shell of ice that likely sits atop a global saltwater ocean that’s estimated to be around ...

After years of debate, NASA researchers have zeroed in on the thickness of the Europa's ice shell. We first discovered that the Jupiter moon's surface looked icy in 1979, when Voyager 2 flew by.

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 ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has captured the highest resolution photo yet of Jupiter’s moon Europa, giving scientists an up-close view of "a puzzling region of the moon’s heavily fractured icy crust." ...

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 ...

On October 10, 2025, a double transit event of Jupiter's moons, Io and Europa, along with their shadows, is observable across the planet's disk. This predawn phenomenon begins at 4:30 A.M. EDT with ...

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 ...

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, ...

A series of experiments led by Southwest Research Institute's Dr. Ujjwal Raut support spectral data recently collected by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that found evidence that the icy surface ...
