Scientists have long suspected that a vast liquid ocean, kept warm by the gravitational kneading of Jupiter&#8217;s enormous gravity, lies hidden beneath that ice. Now, a new study using the James Webb Space Telescope is adding a crucial piece to the puzzle, and the implications reach right to the heart of astrobiology.<\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2026-03-jwst-europa-tara-regio-hinting.html\" target=\"_blank\">Go to Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Europa is not supposed to look the way it does.
