The icy surface of Jupiter 's moon Europa appears to be constantly changing, new data from the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed. This phenomena, the team explained, is heightened in so-called ...

NASA has launched its Europa Clipper mission to the icy moon of Jupiter. Thought to contain an underground ocean and potentially habitable environment, Europa has long been a tantalizing target.

The moon, Europa, is thought to have conditions that are right for life–but with a catch. Space A source of carbon — a building block of life — is found on Jupiter's moon Europa.

Europa Clipper will face a challenge once it reaches the planet's moon — exposure to radiation, since the moon is within Jupiter’s magnetic field.

One of Jupiter’s 95 known moons, Europa is almost the size of our own moon. It’s encased in an ice sheet estimated to be 10 miles to 15 miles or more (15 kilometers to 24 kilometers) thick.

Europa is an icy ocean world—and NASA is finally going to explore it. For the first time, NASA is journeying to this mysterious moon to determine if it might be able to host alien life.

Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, will do something astonishing this month. The moon will pass in front of a distant star later this month, obscuring the light of a distant star from Earth’s view.

NASA's Europa Clipper mission is headed to Jupiter's moon Europa, which likely harbors a great sea. The space agency released a close-up view of the moon's tantalizing surface.

But it is Europa that has garnered the most attention. The frozen moon’s orbit around Jupiter is slightly oblong-shaped, meaning it is pushed and pulled by the planet’s gravity.

It is expected to reach Jupiter in April 2030 to study Europa, the icy-surfaced moon, which is roughly the size of Earth’s moon and thought to have “ingredients for life,” such as water ...
