Did You Know?Juno cracked the code on Europa’s ice! NASA’s Juno mission has officially measured the ice shell of Jupiter’s moon, Europa. Using microwave frequencies to peer miles beneath the surface, scientists found an average thickness of 18 miles. While this thick ice acts as a protective shield for the ocean below, it also reveals just how difficult it might be for surface nutrients to reach any life forms swimming in the deep. #NASA, #JunoMission, #Europa, #Jupiter, #SpaceDiscovery, #Astron
