“All the Water on Europa” is copyrighted by JPL/Caltech. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteJupiter's moon Europa likely has a deep, global ocean of liquid water beneath its icy surface. Data from the Galileo probe, collected between 1995 and 2003, suggests this ocean could be over 100 kilometers deep. If all of Europa's water were collected, it would form a sphere with a radius of about 800 kilometers.
