Model based on hydrothermal sources evaluate possibility of life Jupiter’s icy moon
Publicado em 24 fevereiro 2018Jupiter’s icy moon Europa is a major target of astrobiology research in light of the possibility that it offers a habitable environment in the Solar System. Under its ice crust, estimated to be 10 km thick, is an ocean of liquid water of over 100 km deep. A huge source of energy deriving from gravitational interaction with Jupiter keeps this water warm. Theoretical research to evaluate the microbial habitability of Europa using data collected from analogous environments on Earth has been [...]ver notícia
