Projects: Europa Mission Campaign
Special Public Event
Europa: Life Beneath the Ice?
What lies beneath the ice of Jupiter's frozen moon Europa?
Almost certainly, a liquid water ocean.
Could life have evolved in such an icebound sea, growing in the
darkness
of eternal winter?
Europa is one of the solar system's most fascinating worlds, having the
precious commodity of liquid water, fascinating geology, and even the
possibility of life. Numerous science committees have judged it as the
top priority for outer solar system exploration. Join the NASA
Astrobiology Institute Europa Focus Group and The Planetary Society for
an eye-opening presentation about Europa, how life can evolve in
unexpected places, and the type of mission that might be sent to answer
some of our questions. Steven Quale will show clips from the film,
Aliens of the Deep. Time for Q&A with the speakers will follow the
presentation.
Admission is Free.
Seating is limited. First come, first served.
