"The mission to discover if Jupiter’s moons support life"

But the biggest surprise was the amount of water that the theoreticians needed to account for the signals: more than twice the amount of water found in all of Earth’s oceans. Because Europa is only a quarter of Earth’s diameter, the water must be spread around the moon in a global ocean, 25 to 95 miles deep, beneath a 10- to 15-mile-thick ice crust.

A fascinating read. The idea of living on a moon of Jupiter's is still probably science fiction, but it's fascinating to learn more. And what we learn impact our ability to live on other planets as well.

I had no idea about the amount of water on Europa!
