[music throughout] Europa is one of the largest moons of Jupiter,

2
00:00:02.202 --> 00:00:05.672
and we believe that Europa has a subsurface ocean

3
00:00:05.672 --> 00:00:08.375
tens to hundreds of kilometers thick.

4
00:00:08.375 --> 00:00:13.847
And so this ocean may be one of the best places to search for life in the Solar System.





5
00:00:13.847 --> 00:00:17.717
There’s been three space missions that have provided evidence

6
00:00:17.717 --> 00:00:20.353
for Europa harboring liquid water.

7
00:00:20.353 --> 00:00:23.356
The first one is Voyager in the late 70s,

8
00:00:23.356 --> 00:00:27.494
the second one is the Galileo Mission in the late 90s,

9
00:00:27.494 --> 00:00:31.965
and most recently Hubble which detected plume-like emission from

10
00:00:31.965 --> 00:00:38.104
hydrogen and oxygen which is closely related to the existence of water beneath its surface.
