How Europa Shocked NASA Scientists | Our Solar System's Moons: Europa

The video explores Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, highlighting its unique features and potential for life. Europa's surface is predominantly water ice, with distinctive linear fractures and chaos terrains. The moon's subsurface ocean, heated by tidal forces, may harbor life. Europa's atmosphere is primarily oxygen, formed by radiolysis. Future missions like NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's JUICE aim to study Europa's surface and subsurface ocean, seeking signs of life.
