NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Finds Carbon Source on Surface of Jupiter’s Moon Europa

On By NASA information center

Jupiter’s moon Europa is one of a handful of worlds in our solar system that could potentially harbor conditions suitable for life. Previous research has shown that beneath its water-ice crust lies a salty ocean of liquid water with a rocky seafloor. However, planetary scientists had not confirmed if that ocean contained the chemicals needed for life, particularly carbon. […]
