Alien discovery: Jupiter's Europa 'best candidate' for alien life - experts
Scientists are pointing out Jupiter's moons, particularly Europa, as a possible home to life, and several missions planned to the icy moon could confirm their suspicions. Beneath the icy exterior of Europa lies a planet-wide body of water despite the freezing temperatures because of a process known as tidal heating. Tidal heating is where the gravitational pull of the moons’ planet, in this case Jupiter, stretches the lunar satellites’ interior, causing it to heat enough to keep water in that state. Professor Joachim Saur, a planetary scientist from the University of Cologne, Germany, sai...
