The major question that most of
the astrobiologists are asking is: Is there any life on Europa? Europa is a small
moon that orbits the largest planet- Jupiter- in our solar system. According to
scientist’s estimate, regardless of being about a quarter of the size of our
planet, Europa has roughly two times as much liquid salt water than Earth. The huge
and deep oceans that lie under Europa's outer icy shell are why scientists
think that if there is life in our solar system other than on Earth, then it's possibly
swimming in Europaian waters. Thanks to extra funding this year, NASA is one
step closer to sending a probe that would take thorough measurements of
Europa's exterior. Take a look at this infographic of Earth and Europa for
