Jupiter's moon Europa may have pockets of water in its icy shell that could support life, study finds
A team from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the US used satellite images of features on the surface of the frozen moon and modelled their age and size. The authors predict that these features are pockets of liquid water housed within the 15 mile thick ice crust that last for a few thousand years before re-freezing. Europa is the fourth largest moon of the gas giant Jupiter, and is thought to have a massive 100 mile deep liquid water ocean beneath its frozen surface.
