Europa

The video explores Europa, Jupiter's sixth moon, highlighting its discovery by Galileo in 1610. Europa's surface is smooth and reflective, with a thin oxygen atmosphere and a magnetic signature suggesting subsurface saltwater. Despite its distance from the sun, gravitational forces keep its oceans warm, making it a candidate for extraterrestrial life. NASA and ESA plan future missions to explore Europa, though budget constraints pose challenges.
