Liquid Water Near Europa's Surface a RarityMadrid, Spain (SPX) Sep 28, 2012 Europa, the enigmatic moon of Jupiter, is believed to be home to a subsurface ocean of liquid water. However, future missions to explore Europa's ocean may need to dig deep. Research suggests that water does not stay in a liquid state near Europa's surface for longer than a few tens of thousands of years - the blink of an eye in geological terms. Klara Kalousova will present this work at the European Planetary Science Congress in Madrid on Tuesday 25 September 2012. Europa is mainly made from rock ... read more |
