How nutrients from Europa's icy shell reach its ocean has been unclear despite several theories.

Research into Jupiter’s moons shows Io and Europa did not evolve apart but formed with opposite compositions from the beginning.

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 ...
