DENVER, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Only a mile or two below the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa, circulating pockets of warm ocean water could be bringing living organisms -- if they exist there -- close enough to the surface that earthlings someday might get a look a them, an astrophysical researcher reported Wednesday.
"Much of Europa's subsurface is warm, and closer to the surface than thought," Robert Pappalardo, University of Colorado astrophysical and planetary sciences assistant professor, told United Press International.
