Europa: Potential for life? In 1610‚ the famous scientist‚ Galileo Galilei‚ looked upon a tiny moon of Jupiter later named Europa. A tiny nondescript moon of Jupiter‚ it did not seem like an attractive place for life. Europa is known to be covered in ice and slightly smaller than the Earth’s moon. At first glance this tiny moon seems like an inhospitable place where life cannot exist. However lately the theory that life may be present in Europa has gained momentum. Despite the physical discrepancies

Possibilities of Life on Io and Europa Jupiter ’s moons have always been a slight mystery to the people of Earth; lately it has become an even bigger topic of interest. Ever since we sent a probe to Jupiter and it explored the moons‚ Io and Europa. Both of these moons have possible means for life. These two moons were discovered on January 10‚ 1610 by Galileo Galilei. One night when he was star gazing‚ he looked at Jupiter and saw four little stars around it. These little stars turned out

Europa i is the sixth closest moon of the planet Jupiter‚ and the smallest of its four Galilean satellites‚ but still one of the largest moons in the Solar System. Europa was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei[1]and possibly independently by Simon Marius around the same time. Progressively more in-depth observation of Europa has occurred over the centuries by Earth-bound telescopes‚ and by space probe flybys starting in the 1970s. Slightly smaller than Earth’s Moon‚ Europa is primarily made of silicate rock

Europa was found on 8 January 1610 by Galileo Galilei. The disclosure‚ alongside three other Jovian moons‚ was the first run through a moon was found circling a planet other than Earth. The disclosure of the four Galilean satellites fortified the view that planets in our nearby planetary group circle the sun‚ rather than Earth. Galileo evidently had watched Europa on 7 January 1610‚ however had been not able separate it from Io until the following night. Galileo initially called Jupiter’s moons

Europa Report: A Closer Look Europa Report gives its viewers a unique perspective into the life of deep space exploration. This film combines the Sci-fi thriller with the Documentary type film in a spectacular way. In typical sci-fi thrillers‚ danger takes the shape of an alien‚ a virus‚ or some sort of space madness that picks off the members of a spaceship’s crew one by one‚ and this film does just that. Sebastian Cordero‚ the director of the film‚ strives for absolute realism using fantastic

Landing project on Europa‚ the moon of Jupiter 1. Introduction This essay is aiming to present a feasible proposal for landing onto the Europa‚ which is the second closest moon to Jupiter. In human being’s history‚ the efforts and explorations of looking for extraterrestrial life never stops‚ from the moon to Mars‚ from the Voyager 1 and 2 which carry with human being information‚ to Galileo mission launched in 1989 and recently Curiosity rover.

Bruce Silver Professor Shawn Dry History 1520 14 June 2010 Why Should We Explore Jupiter’s Moon Europa? The planet Jupiter‚ some 500 million miles from Earth is a very unique planet. Besides being 1200-1500 (estimates vary) times larger than the Earth‚ The planet Jupiter is surrounded by a small solar system by itself. The planet Jupiter has some 72 moons orbiting it at present count‚ and these moons come in all shapes‚ sizes‚ and physical variations. Many of these moons have quite interesting

In the case that we encounter aliens on our trip that have been summoned by our threatening ability to colonize‚ or the possibility that there is alien life on Europa‚ we will be bringing weapons. As silly as it sounds‚ bringing swords would actually be much more efficient than guns and all the ammunition that is required‚ which translates to weight‚ and it would also be an excellent source of physical conditioning
