Experts believe there's a salty ocean beneath its icy crust, and, as we know, water is one of the essential ingredients for life. But could this distant, frozen moon really support life? In October 2024, NASA will launch Earth's first mission to conduct a detailed scientific investigation of Europa, researching its geology, chemistry, and potential for life, providing more insight as to whether its hidden ocean could be home to microbial life or something more complex.
