Oh, she thicc. The post NASA Says Europa Is Covered by a Thick Icy Shell appeared first on Futurism.

NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft is on its cruise to explore Jupiter’s mysterious ice moon, Europa. On this path, it clicked a spectacular image of a starfield and Uranus. This cosmic image, shared by ...

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.

New findings published in Nature Astronomy suggest the latter. By analyzing microwave data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft during ...
