Europa is one of only a few places in the solar system other than Earth where life might be possible. The ice-covered Europa, astrobiologists suspect, could harbor liquid oceans under its frozen surface. It has been the subject of preliminary studies by the Voyager spacecraft in the early 1980s and more recently by the Galileo spacecraft, which flew within 900 miles of the moon's surface in February 1999.I just finished reading 3001: Final Odesy by Arthur C Clark tonight. The moon Europa is a big part in this book as it is in 2010. Isn't it weird when you read something and the it seems to show up in news stories real soon afterwards.
