Scientists at Southwest Research Institute conducted experiments to understand the puzzling distribution of frozen hydrogen ...

Jupiter's moon Europa, which was often pictured as a still, silent shell may be home to a giant liquid water ocean that holds ...

Europa’s interior could be made of oceans of liquid water that separate the moon’s rocky core and outer ice shell, according to data from NASA’s Galileo Mission in the 1990s, said Murthy.

Europa is about the size of Earth's moon and, like our moon, keeps the same side toward the planet it orbits. Picture a car driving in circles around a mountain with its left-side windows always ...

NASA's Voyager probes passed through Jupiter's system and snapped pictures of its largest moons, also known as the Galilean moons. These pictures and the data they gathered offered the first hints ...

However, all of these processes require a hot interior. A small moon like Europa (~1% of Earth's mass) may not have enough energy to trigger or sustain Earth-like processes -- metallic core ...

The particles in this field rush around Jupiter at a rate of about 10 hours per circuit, while Europa, which is about the size of Earth's moon, takes 3.6 days to orbit the planet in the same ...

Jupiter's icy moon Europa experienced enough heat to produce a layered interior and subsurface ocean, scientists say. The finding could help researchers learn about the potential for life on other ...

On Thursday, NASA’s Juno spacecraft came within 219 miles of the moon, allowing its camera, the JunoCam, to capture high-resolution images of Europa’s terrain.
