New research suggests there may be a narrow window of possibility for life to persist on the icy moons of the outer solar ...

Europa Clipper will focus its sensor array on the moon’s anti-Jovian side (the hemisphere facing away from Jupiter), flying as close as 16 miles (25 kilometers) above the surface. A second ...

It will take 5 1/2 years to reach Jupiter and will sneak within 16 miles (25 kilometers) of Europa's surface — considerably closer than any other spacecraft. Clipper lifted off Monday aboard ...

This indicates that the surface is very young and ... The gravitational pull on Europa is stronger on its Jupiter facing side. At the same time, moon's orbit is elliptical, so that to Jupiter varies.

A series of experiments support spectral data recently collected by the James Webb Space Telescope that found evidence that the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa is constantly changing.
