It’s thought Jupiter’s moon Europa has more water under its icy crust than in all the seas on the surface of our planet. This liquid ocean has the interest of scientists because it is believed that water is key to life, making Europa a contender for the best place to look for life in the Solar System. Now a potential new feature on the moon is adding to this possibility. Models suggest the presence of seafloor volcanos.
