Europa may be hiding a global salty ocean beneath its icy crust 🌊 This could explain why Europa seems to have it's own magnetic field, unusual for a moon! Keep an eye out next week when we announce the topics and speakers for Astronomy on Tap on 31st March! 👀

Did you know?
Shown is a picture of Jupiter's icy moon Europa.

Jupiter's moon Europa may contain more water than all of Earth's oceans combined!
Apart from the ice cracks we see on the surface, the distortions in the magnetic field of Jupiter indicate that Europa has a giant subsurface ocean.
