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.

A new computer modeling provided a new explanation as to why the icy shell of Jupiter's moon, Europa, has an unusual motion/rotation. Scientist from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory present a video, 09 ...

"By understanding the sizes and shapes of craters on Europa and reproducing their formation with numerical simulations, we’re able to infer information about how thick its ice shell is." When you ...
