New models suggest that Europa has very little tectonic activity at its seafloor, which is potentially catastrophic news for ...

A study has cast doubt on the idea that Jupiter's moon Europa, where NASA has sent a spacecraft, could have conditions to support contemporary life.

NASA launched the Europa Clipper spacecraft in 2024 with the goal of investigating whether conditions favorable for life exist on Europa.

New research suggests that sinking ice on Jupiter's moon, Europa, may be slowly delivering life-supporting chemicals to its subsurface ocean.

"Most excitingly, this new idea addresses one of the longstanding habitability problems on Europa and is a good sign for the ...

Data from NASA's Juno mission has provided new insights into the thickness and subsurface structure of the icy shell encasing ...

On Earth, deep-sea vents may have given rise to the planet’s first life. But nothing of the sort seems to be happening at the ...

A new study is skeptical that life could still be present on Jupiter's moon Europa, where a NASA spacecraft launched in Florida is bound.

Europa’s subsurface ocean might be getting fed after all. Scientists found that salty, nutrient-rich surface ice can become ...

A recent study by geophysicists at Washington State University offers insight into how nutrients may reach the subsurface ...

While there’s no concrete consensus on a list of prerequisites for life to evolve on other planets, there are at least a ...
