Life as we know it needs water, and Europa's got that in spades. But life needs much, much more than water, which is where we start running into trouble with this little moon.

Life's chances on Europa would also depend on whether tidal friction heats the moon all the way to its rocky core. If the solid core is in fact warm, he said, "then you may have black smokers ...

Now researchers suggest that a small metallic core could lie at the centre of this moon 1. Planetary scientists have not been able to confirm whether Europa has a metal-rich core at its heart, or ...

Scientists are exploring Jupiter's moon Europa for potential life due to its subsurface ocean, rich in water, chemical elements, and energy from tidal flexing. NASA's Europa Clipper will assess ...

Europa Clipper cost about $3.8 billion to make and launch, and it will cost another $1.2 billion to operate until it completes its core mission in 2034, according to the Planetary Society.

NASA’s Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter’s ocean moon is not looking for life, but will see if life could be possible there. It’s a step that could help the bigger hunt beyond our solar system.

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft successfully launched on October 14, 2024, aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission aims to investigate Europa, one of ...

Europa Clipper will serve as NASA’s first spacecraft dedicated to studying an ice-covered ocean world in our solar system, and it aims to determine whether the moon could be habitable for life ...
