Europa
A cracked ice shell over a hidden ocean — Europa is many scientists' best bet for life beyond Earth.
About this globe
An ice shell wrapped around a global saltwater ocean holding more water than all of Earth's seas combined. The brown cracks — mapped by Galileo and Voyager — are where the shell has fractured and stained.
That hidden ocean makes Europa one of the most promising places to look for life beyond Earth.
