Search for alienlife extends to Jupiter's icymoons
opens on Thursday as Europe's JUICE spacecraft blasts off on a mission to investigate the icy moons of Jupiter.
But NASA's Galileo probe to Jupiter in 1995 and the more recent Cassini spacecraft's trip to Saturn caused scientists to broaden their horizons.themselves were correctly ruled out, but their icy moons—particularly Jupiter's Europa and Ganymede, and Saturn's Enceladus and Titan—offered fresh hope of nearby life.—a crucial ingredient for life as we know it.
By July 2031 it will have entered Jupiter's orbit, from which it will probe Ganymede, Europa and fellow icy moon Callisto. This is just one of several signs that Ganymede's hidden ocean could provide a stable environment for life. The ocean would need to be able to absorb the nutrients from anything that fell on the moon's surface, for example, which would eventually dissolve into the water, she added.
