Scientists Think There Could Be LIFE on Europa and It’s Even Weirder Than We Thought!

Jupiter's frozen moon, Europa, has captivated the imaginations of scientists for decades. Why? Because below that thick layer of ice, a vast ocean has been discovered, an ocean with potentially the correct ingredients for life as we know it. It is one of the most promising places in the solar system where life may have formed independently. But how could life survive on such an extreme moon? and if it does exist there, what might it look like?

    @@skycloud4802 I also have thought about this idea. To think logically about life forms depending on the environment it's in if the environment looks like our own then the organism in it properly look also like what we are used too. A organism need arms and legs to move around, needs eyes to see and yes using sonar is also possible but that is'nt really that alien because dolphins and bats also use this method to navigate, to fly you need aerodynamic wings, to eat you need a mouth and so on. Still plenty of variation possible through as is here on Earth.

    If we look at convergence on Earth, species that are completely unrelated often end up looking the same because that body shape is best adapted for a particular environment. For example, sharks, dolphins and icthyosaurs are completely different lineages but superficially converged on a very similar streamlined shape. Another example could be convergence in marsupials and placental mammals such as flying squirrels and sugar gliders, or moles and marsupial moles. Many species have converged on the body plan of rodents without being rodents. The list goes on. Bats and dolphins have even evolved the same mutation for echo-location. If we're looking at conditions similiar to environments on Earth, I'd say it's likely many aliens may look similar and will have evolved to fill similar niches. To find things that are truly 'alien' I think that would be life forms that have sprung up on worlds that by our standards are extremely hostile and impossible to survive in.

But we have already figured it out the best way to get to the ocean below, and that's why part of the Europa Clipper mission is to find a thin part of the ice shell, and designate it for the follow up submersible mission.. because we already have the submersible being tested in Antarctica.. You wanna take a guess how we will get thru 15 km of "hard as steel ice" on a moon around Jupiter, on NASA's tiny budget? Obviously it would be ridiculous an untenable to "drill" thru the ice, considering the deepest we have ever drilled here on Earth is like 4 miles, and there would be no way to have an unmanned probe with "drill bits" that need to be changed, and for "problems" to constantly arise under the radiation of Jupiter..

    Question. Given the much smaller mass of Europa than Earth and the fact that Europa's oceans are much deeper than the Mariana trench; can we work out the likely pressures at the bottom of Europa oceans? My guess is that if there is life at all, then given the nature of food chains I see no reason why the biggest life forms shouldn't be potentially huge.

    It would depend on what it “breathes” (or draws quick and plentiful resources from the way we get oxygen from air), where it draws its primary energy from (heat from vents? Eating other creatures? Radiation from Jupiter abundant on the surface?) and finally, whether it evolved there or originated elsewhere and just happens to live on Europa (arrived on a comet? Left by aliens?) There are also limits based on physics the way we need lungs and blood to diffuse our oxygen further into our bodies, whereas plants are thin enough to do this with direct contact with air and without lungs. Ironically, pressure may help to diffuse these supplies into the creature in the same way that our atmospheric pressure concentrates air around us, and we struggle to breathe as the air gets thinner higher up.

    Gravity on Europa is 1,3m/s which is comparable to gravity on the moon at 1,6 m/s and about 6 times less than earth. After converting from an online calculator, I find pressure at the bottom of Europa's ocean is about twice what you'd find at the bottom of the Mariana trench. Still a lot but it doesn't seem impossible for life to develop there if we have some here on Earth.

    @@FullMetalFeline No worries! Yea you take into account that here on Earth, you have the entire weight of our atmosphere, plus the h20 in the ocean itself, pressing down on any given point.. Since Europa is so much smaller, and made mostly of silicate rock, and frozen water ice, it means that there is no impervious layer of "Ice-7" at the bopttom of the ocean, formed by the immense pressure which in turn theoretically "seals off" the mineral rich rocky mantle from mixing into the ocean water above.. This is in fact, why most astrobiologists do not think that newly discovered class of super earth's known as Hycean worlds(water worlds that are at least one and a half times bigger and more dense than our planet) have the capability to support a biosphere, because those oceans are 1000 km's deep, and have so much more atmosphere crushing down on it, that hypothetically it forms an exotic form of ice which is as "hard as steel" and "fiery hot".. This "Ice -7" completely encapsulates the rocky mantle which not only prevents plate tectonics, but also stops the heat transfer from the magma core(like the hot chimney vents found by James Cameron during his expedition to the deepest parts of our oceans) to the ocean above, which is what life as we know it, thrives on. But these ice moons are a totally different beast.. One more fun fact for you: There are 7 of these moons in our solar system alone, (including Titan) that seem to have deep, warm salt water oceans that are potential habitats for multicellular life. Europa is my favorite planet!! I can't wait till the Europa Clipper starts exploring in 2030. Seems like a long ways a way.. but it's not too bad, i reckon.. :P

    Not necessarily. All life on Earth is descended from a single living being and has the same basic biochemistry. That could be a limitant on what evolution may or may not be able to do here on Earth. Though silicon-based life is probably impossible, carbon-based life with completely different biochemistry might be possible. For example, we share the same four nucleotids with the simplest bacteria in the world. Even the genetic code (the correspondence between codon and aminoacid) is very conserved across the tree of life. In another planet, none of this is guaranteed. In fact, if the first life we find outside of Earth has those exact same biomolecular traits, we should seriously start considering panspermia... or life-seeding.

    we will never use a drill. Experiments are already being done to test the submersible that will be used in the oceans, in a vast underground lake under the surface of Antarctica. But the way wew will pierce the 15 km thick ice shell, will be to use data by the upcoming Europa Clipper mission to designate the thinnest point, and then use radioactive decay, (which we already use to power the probe to visit Europa, by putting a piece of the plutonium or Uranium in the nose of the submersible(think of a bullet , with the submersible encased within) and then using gravity and the constant heat from the gamma radiation from the radioactive rock, the probe will slowly(melt) its way down ~15 km of hard as steel ice. It qill take about 5 years. But there is no way possible to transport the equipment needed to drill 15 km deep, when we cannot even get close to that with our drill technology on our own planet.

It would make sense to do exactly, as you mentioned, with using heat to bore through the ice and come to think of it, it would be a logistical nightmare to firstly transport a drill rig and secondly drill that far down, way to many things could go wrong. I'm more than happy to take some constructive criticism, my friend 👍

    Maybe there would be a way to enter the water around those areas that the plumes come from. The ice would, by necessity, be weaker or less structured there. It would still be fraught with dangers for the machine, but it should take a lot less time to get submerged.

    @@mykelevangelista6492 still, not going to transport a drill system that would need to penetrate a few km's at least, all the way to Europa. And yes, of course they will target the most optimal place, in terms of thickness of the ice, but the only viable way is to use radioactive heat in the form of gamma rays, which are a constant, and non-dissipating source of heat energy..They will use the same plutonium that is used to power all our NASA probes, and is the same source of energy that keeps the Voyager spacecraft STILL, working to this day. They will just put it in the nose cone of a cartridge, housing the submersible like a bullet, and let it melts its way down in 3-5 years... This is already been agreed upon years ago.

    @@raidermaxx2324 Nobody will ever use plutonium or uranium to drill into europa, the potential risks are too high for any life living there, NASA already takes a lot of care to make sure no living matter is carried aboard their spacecraft, why would they ever intentionally drop radioactive material into a possible source of life? Cool idea, wont happen.

    One of the foremost science fiction authors of all time, Arthur C. Clarke, wrote a bunch of short stories which were later expanded by Paul Preuss into the series Venus Prime, in which life is discovered on Europa. Or, more precisely, IN Europa.
