The Depths of ocean Europe


 Found proof that the ocean in Europe, Jupiter, and a captive under a layer of ice has an exit to the surface.

The mission of Galileo (1989-2003) bring a lot of scientist’s important data about Jupiter and its moons, but the on-board infrared spectrometer probe was not able to identify all the parts needed to refine the mineral composition of the surface of Europe. Now, using a spectrometer OSIRIS (Keck Observatory, Hawaii), the researchers have made an interesting discovery.
