Europa has an enormous ocean of warm liquid water under its frozen crust. The bottom of this ocean could be a similar environment to primitive Earth, potentially hosting microorganisms.

NASA's working on a mission to send a probe and a lander to Europa, but there are many challenges to overcome to make it happen.

Europa is a big brown ice ball that's full of deep, dark secrets.

The ocean-filled moon might hold the life we’ve long searched for in space. And scientists have one shot to reach it.

"Brown gunk" of course being a technical term. NASA scientists have suggested fissures on Europa are filled with a salty, brown gunk carried to the moon’s surface by subsurface water.

The Space Launch System megarocket, scheduled to fly for the first time in 2018, will blast unmanned spacecraft toward their targets at unprecedented speeds, dramatically reducing interplanetary travel times, advocates say.

The search for alien life is moving to the icy moons orbiting Jupiter following the discovery of organic materials hailed as the “building blocks of life”.

There are lot of things flying around in space: planets, asteroids, stars, clouds of gas, moons… They all need names.
