Europa: Discover Life Under the Ice
Jupiter's moon Europa is covered in ice, but strong tidal flexing from Jupiter's gravity keeps a salty subsurface ocean liquid. This ocean may harbor simple life forms, even without sunlight, due to the energy generated by the tidal forces. Europa follows an elliptical 85-hour orbit around Jupiter.
