FINDING LIFE ON JUPITER'S ICY MOON EUROPA

摘要

Jupiter's moon Europa has a high possibility that there is life on it. Scientists, having seen the most recent pictures from the Galileo spacecraft, have noticed one big fault and lots of small cracks all over Europa. Scientists seem to believe that an underground ocean under the surface is causing the thick, icy surface to crack. Of course if there is water under the surface, there is always a possibility that life could be there or have been there in the past. Some scientists are very skeptical, but most are in belief. There will be a mission going up in 2003 that will be up in space for fifteen years. Finding life on Europa would inevitably lead to more exploration throughout the solar system and life would never be the same.
