Facts About Europa
Europa is the fourth largest of Jupiter?s 95 moons.
It's the sixth-closest moon to the planet.
Europa may be one of the most promising places in our solar system to find present-day environments suitable for some form of life beyond Earth. Scientists believe a saltwater ocean lies beneath its icy shell, holding twice as much water as Earth's global ocean. It also may have the chemical elements that are key ingredients to life. NASA is launching its Europa Clipper spacecraft on Oct. 10, 2024, to determine whether there are places below Europa's surface that could support life.
