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.

The vast, swirling ocean within Jupiter's moon Europa may be affecting the rotation of its icy crust, scientists say. New supercomputer-driven modeling suggests that the waters of the internal, global ...

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 ...
