A new finding of ammonia on the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa could have important implications for the search for ...

Scientists with expertise in geophysics at Washington State University have developed an alternative pathway for the ...

Using data gathered by NASA's Juno Jupiter orbiter, scientists estimate that Europa's ice shell is about 18 miles thick — which could make it hard for nutrients to get down to its buried ocean.

Nasa's old Galileo data reveals ammonia-bearing compounds on Europa's icy surface near fractured zones.

Jupiter's moon Europa has long been shortlisted among scientists as one of our solar system's most promising locations to search for life – or, at least, the conditions that could support it. But a ...

Researchers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) recently detected the presence of ammonia — a nitrogen-bearing compound crucial to supporting life — on ...

A new study suggests Jupiter's moon Europa may lack the underwater geologic activity necessary to support life. Scientists have long considered Europa a promising place to search for life due to its ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A NASA spacecraft is ready to set sail for Jupiter and its moon Europa, one of the best bets for finding life beyond Earth. Europa Clipper will peer beneath the moon's icy ...

Reanalysis of NASA Galileo data identifies ammonia-bearing compounds on Europa, linking surface fractures, cryovolcanism, and subsurface ocean chemistry relevant to future Europa Clipper ...
