Jupiter’s icy moon Europa to be next Earth? Know the ingredients of life suggested by scientists
Tuesday, 15 October 2024 () 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 its habitability, with Europa's conditions resembling those on Earth, such as a salty ocean and hydrothermal activity, possibly supporting microbial life.
NASA is set to launch the Europa Clipper spacecraft to explore Jupiter’s moon, Europa, on October 14, using SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. The mission aims to determine if Europa can support life beneath its icy surface. The journey, spanning 2.9 billion kilometers, is expected to take 5.5 years,...
Earth used to have two moons. Scientists believe Earth may have once had a smaller second moon that eventually collided with the main one, explaining the Moon’s uneven terrain.
Get ready for an epic and dark journey through the most violent and fascinating history of all time: the creation of Earth. From devastating cosmic collisions to the birth of the Moon, our planet was..
