Thick or Thin Ice Shell on Europa?
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA10131 Europa Tide Movie http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA10149 I'm not sure that there is any new science involved. Seems to me like some nice eye candy for the purpose of getting Europa into the collective consciousness before the next flagship is chosen. |

Bah, blatent Europan propaganda I feel your pain. It's been a mystery to me why Io gets so little attention It's the most geologically active world in our solar system for Pete's sake. When NASA announced they were studying outer planets moon missions, the four names that keep coming up are Titan, Europa, Ganymede and Enceladus. First in the "what can you get with a billion dollar mission" studies, and then the "well, fine, what do you get for 3 billion?" Turns out you couldn't do much of anything worthwile with a billion dollars for the listed targets, but I'd wager you could get a lot of bang for your buck if you asked the same question about Io missions. |
