- Some moons of Saturn and Jupiter (including Europa, we suspect) are ocean worlds – they have oceans beneath their icy surfaces. In fact, finding life in one of these oceans might be more consequential than finding life on Mars.

Jun 8, 2021 · Some moons of Saturn and Jupiter (including Europa, we suspect) are ocean worlds – they have oceans beneath their icy surfaces. In fact, finding life in one of these oceans might be more consequential than finding life on Mars.
May 1, 2023 · At least six of those worlds—two orbiting Saturn, three orbiting Jupiter and one by Neptune—might host watery oceans, sandwiched between a warm planetary core below and ice crust above. On...
Nov 10, 2020 · Jupiter’s Europa and Saturn’s Enceladus, despite their frozen, forbidding surfaces, are hiding vast oceans beneath the ice – among several moons with subsurface oceans. Let’s begin the tour with our hottest planet.
Jul 21, 2024 · Scientists have long theorized that both Enceladus, one of Saturn' s 146 known moons, and Europa, one of Jupiter 's four large Galilean moons among its total 95 moons, could host vast liquid water...
Jul 18, 2024 · Europa, a moon of Jupiter, and Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, have evidence of oceans beneath their ice crusts. A NASA experiment suggests that if these oceans support life, signatures of that life in the form of organic molecules (e.g. amino acids, nucleic acids, etc.) could survive just under the surface ice despite the harsh radiation on these ...
A new NASA study modeling conditions in the ocean of Jupiter's moon Europa suggests that the necessary balance of chemical energy for life could exist there, even if the moon lacks volcanic hydrothermal activity.
