Europa’s surface ice is crystallizing at different rates in different places, which could point to a complex mix of external processes and geologic activity affecting the surface.

A camera built at Arizona State University is on its way to check for signs of life above Jupiter, but it detoured to Mars for testing.

On a mission to discover if one of Jupiter's 4 moons, Europa, supports life, NASA's robotic spacecraft, Clipper, captured a close-range image of Mars.

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft captured a thermal image of Mars during a gravity-assist flyby, testing instruments ahead of its mission to explore Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa.

These pictures highlight surface cracks on Mars (top row), the icy crust of Jupiter’s moon Europa (bottom left), and terrestrial analogs on Earth (bottom middle and right).

Ice moons such as Jupiter’s Europa and Saturn’s Enceladus are currently at the forefront of the search for extraterrestrial life, as it is believed that beneath their thick icy shells there ...
