In 1995, the Galileo spacecraft began an extensive study of Jupiter and its moons, revealing important information about Europa&#8217;s surface and suggesting the presence of a subsurface ocean. The scientific community has since recognized Europa as a prime candidate for the search for extraterrestrial life, leading to the development of dedicated missions like the Europa Clipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
