  • Number 6 reason is that if we dontn finally find life there,

    we can still ice skate the shit out of it...

  • Yes, about 2/3 of the earth's surface is covered in water, but only about 1/50 of the earth is made up of water. Europa seems closer to 80% water in total. Pretty unique and amazing.

  • wow this is awesome. so pretty i already like the planet..but imagine a europa made out of ice

  • lets go to hoth

  • what about Titan?... it is one of the most strong fighters for proving that it contains life too...

  • @DrKillaser Well, Titan (Saturn) is quite more far away than Jupiter. But I most say, Titan is much cooler than all of Jupiter's moons together :)

  • now we can finaly build Atlantis city just like stargate . xD

  • I think Nibiru is more awesome,if it excists...

  • because of jupitors huge mass and europa egg shaped orbit it gets stretched and compressed in its orbit and that its secret way to heat up and yes if it ice then theres probally an ocean

  • 1:18 i thought it was moon not a planet

  • AWESOME VIDEO! I REALLY DO BELIEVE there is an ocean underneath that icy crust! There's probaby life: It would not surprise me, but it would fascinate me! Just think, there could be an ENTIRE AQUARIUM underneath Europa's crust! Its probably more geologically active than we [scientists/astronomers,etc] think. I'm just an Astronomy fanatic! It should be explored by a (decontaminated) cryobot and hydrobot probe! I LOVE SCIENCE! IT'S WHAT KEEPS MY MIND WONDERING AND ALIVE! =D

  • aliens recover their ice-shield against a stupid invasion of Earthlings. That's clever.

  • are you kidding me??? there was just a commercial in the middle of the video!! c'mon dudes,what the fuck!?

  • in my astronomy class my prof was talking abt how there might be life under the ice crust and that nasa was going to dig a hole in the crust to see the ocean. i was pretty excited about it untill my class mate brought up that what if life(if there is one) in the ocean gets destroyed if we dig a hole in the crust. like UVrays of sun could get in the water completey altering the life forms or jupiter's gravity might just pull the water creating HUGE tides destroying the ice crust on the moon!

  • @aachikha123 i think that the scientist in NASA should consider this seriously before going about digging holes in other planet. people have done much damage to earth and now they are trying to go to other planets!

  • @aachikha123  the water would just come up to the surface after the drill is taken out and freeze immediately. The UV rays will not harm any forms of life.

  • @Udayan8Dutta ohh i see. but what if the gravity of jupiter pulls the water before it has time to freeze? is that possible?

  • Comment removed

  • @aachikha123 That would not be possible because the ice refreezes after a couple of minutes after it has been broken that is why they will use a nuclear heated probe to actually melt down in the ocean and not drill so by the time it reaches half way its entrance hole would already be closed and if Jupiter's gravity was strong enough to pull the water and make tides it of made it long ago when comets and asteroid were hitting it.The uv rays might alter the lifeforms and kill some but not all.

  • Io hater xDD

  • i thougt it was the europa on earth xD

  • I just don't agree that the strange shaped moons are actually classed as ' moons '. If they can't classify pluto as a planet then they should do the same with this. They should call it ' undeveloped'. Since they aren't round yet but will ever happen.

  • F5 to skip commercials

  • This is just so fucking interesting!

  • @Darksunshinerain87 Yeah really! Im no person that loves to learn or whatever. But mostly in my free time i watch astronomy. Discovering is the best thing in the world. Really somthing new. It al began watching a movie about mars :D Thank god i watched national geographic that day.

  • I wonder how much those greedy bastard would charge us for Europa spring water??

  • I love these little vid snippets--they get kids (and taxpaying adults) interested.

  • we wil find orgasms in the europa ocean!

    woops did i say orgasms XD

  • @artilonilolo huh!

  • Since it would be a dark ocean; I wonder if the creatures there will glow and make their own light. Something like flashlight organs on their heads. Hey; we're talkin' alien, here....

  • @newmac There are fish like that below our ocean. If the temprature is right i could belive that there is life. It's really wierd the planet actually stretches and flexes or somthing. That indicates that there is water. Twice as much as on earth people assume!

  • europa also has a small oxygen atmosphere, but not enough to sustian life.

  • any kind of organism could evolve if it has water

  • i have always love europa

  • fake...god didnt make europa in 7 days there for its not real

  • I looked at jupiter with a telescope and saw it with my own eyes.

  • awesome!!!!

  • your mom bah!

  • lol :o

  • strongly depends on what "life" stands for. Human beings tend to associate life as a copy of life forms on earth. in reality i think that life as such is as variable as our life forms are here on earth. but when you dont know what you're looking for it will be difficult ti find it :)

  • titan vs europa vs enceladus vs earth (oh wait we already have life) 5/5

  • we can breath on titan just imagine if Nasa tugged it in earths rotation path that would rock

  • No, because all satellites do eventually (like a billion years) collide with the planet that it orbits around. Also, I don't think that we should start to abandon the earth we trashed, move to titan, and start trashing titan, then move to blah blah blah and trash that. Then we die by being stupid. Hooray!

  • al gores a fag

  • does al gores care about europa global warming?

  • global warming is a lie its not on earth its not on mars its not on europa

  • @nickalexrock Mars and Europa don't have atmospheres you fucking idiot so how could they warm?

  • @Nateon mars has a thin atom atmospheres and look at comments i resounded too before you budge in foul mouth... okay foul fingers

  • What kind of "fucking idiot" has told you something else? look it up.

  • @Nateon Mars does have a atmosphere you ' fucking idiot '. You talk about stuff you know nothing about apperantley. Read some more books about it and then start with your fallacious attacks upon random people.

  • get harry stamper and the boys up there, and let them drill, oh wait most of them died on thay bastard asteroid didnt they :s haha

  • titan vs europa

  • at least theres a great possibility of microorganisms

  • OMG! There's Jupiter fish is Europa! :O

  • Europa pwns, the name is awesome to ;)

  • Jupiter fish :O

  • wtf!??! I honestly just saw an ad. wtf is with youtube?

  • we need to drill into Europa because there cud be water there wich mean life is there to

  • Jupiter fish :O

  • We need to drill into Europa also because there could be oil there too. Drill baby drill! lmao.

  • not a change, coes Jupiter got no actual landmass, maybe the core dont know but its mostly a gas planet, think the best reason Europa is the second best natural satalite (ofc the Moon is nr1) there is is because its named after the most pleasend place to live on Earth Europa!!!!!

  • I see Europa as a future water source, not a colony.

  • And a litle food source too xD (Jupiter fish)

  • damn that would not be cheap

  • @1Nanalo but what if the water isnt drinkable D:

  • @1Nanalo well somebody has to live there while they get the water riiiiiiiiiiiiiight???

  • Comment removed

  • @ChoffyScopeductionZ  Why are you attacking people? Blocked

  • @1Nanalo 70% of the earth surface is covered with water... what do we need water for!?

    (i think you mean CLEAN water but for the energy you would need to transport water from europa to the earth is is enough to clean the our hole freakin planet)

  • @1Nanalo there will be 4 colonizable places in the solar system in 4 billion years: 3 jupiter moons, and 1 saturn moon

  • uhh am in love with europa

  • why does life outside of earth has to be related to water? Live on earth relies on water, no doubt. But what if extra-terrestrial organisms lived off other elements? What if say life on planet X relied on methane, and that the 'creatures' breathed methane, and drank liquid tin? I'm sure life on other planets doesn't just drink water.

  • Great question to ask a chemist..

    I'm very certain they would give you a very good reason why you would need water for life..

  • Most biologic reactions are related with water, that's why life can't exist without it

  • Most, but what if the one and only other lifeform out there is not water dependant?

  • I wonder, could you get a planet made entirley of water? Like a giant celestial raindrop. I ponder in this.

  • i would have thort it would atlast need a core because water dosent have a gravitional pull ... and the ( raindrop ) would just be pulled into the planet ...... which now i think about it gets me thinking ... what if europa's gravity stoped ... would all the water go towards jupiter be burnt up and become clouds which could water the landscape and over time creat life .... ( omg i hate geting involved in things like this makes me think to much )

  • what if we where to blow up europa ... would that giv jupiter lakes ??

  • too bad jup has no land :(

  • Any mass has its own gravity, water has mass, and has gravity.....

  • but wouldent the gravitational pull of jupiter being a hudge planet with far more mass pull it in ?

  • Nah, its just the right distance away not to be pulled in, but at the same time is the perfect distance away to orbit about Jupiter, I would think the moon would have a very long orbit. It could be slowly getting closer to Jupiter. Kinda like how our moon is slowly travelling further from us.

  • well all thats wrong. so think a little harder lol.

    water has gravity, and if the gravity (somehow) stopped the planet would fly out into the cosmos. as for life on jupiter? its way to dense and toxic to support life.

  • ...What?

  • el oh el

  • Europa has creatures larger than Earth whales under the ice in its global ocean.  They don't look anything like whales or fish though.

  • .. I bet... Well know some time..

  • I hope I live long enough to see the results of the first probes to Europa...

    Can you imagine what would happen if the first photo of deep sea Europa reveals tiny bacteria?

    Wow...just...wow....

  • @Vildasnage not gonna happen. Because of stubborness as a general whole, the advancement of science has significantly slowed down since the 1960's. HUmanity won't even touch Europa for another 100 years.

  • @Vildasnage I'd be excited. That litteraly means that we aren't alone. But intelligent life would be far more exoticer ;l

  • @Vildasnage could you imagine if the find something even bigger?

  • @Vildasnage can you imagine if the first probe on europea broke the ice and sank into the ocean

    wow just wow

    i would laugh my ass off :D

  • @Vildasnage That would be the prime of my life.

  • @Vildasnage I hope i get to live long until the human race gets to live in another planet!

  • @moome1649

    Well, there is a research team trying to unlock immortality, so who knows, we just might.

  • @Atheistcat2004 life is not a game son you dont " UNLOCK IMMORTALITY"

  • @kalibradoboy

    In terms of speech what was meant by my comment was that they are researching and trying to develop methods of allowing humanity to attain immortality. Now I hope that was detailed and lengthy enough of an explanation for someone such as yourself could understand, since I can't really be bothered to log into Skype add you as a friend and talk really slow and use pictures while using small words for you to understand.

  • @Atheistcat2004 fat guy with gll

    asses oh the irony

  • @kalibradoboy

    Seriously, all you could come up with after that is "fat guy with glasses"? Considering that I'm 6' 1" and 180 lbs, "fat" is flat out incorrect. Also it doesn't take too much effort to figure out that I wear glasses, so congratulations, a monkey could have done that. Lastly, even if I was fat, I would rather be so and have an education, which I do, than be like you, an ignorant cunt with the intelligence of a struck match.

  • @Atheistcat2004 yup you are fat

  • Yeah, Europa is my favourite moon. Subtarranean ocean with l;ikely promises of life. Very tantalizing. My second favourite moon is Titan. Guess you know why by now.

  • L. Ron Hubbard went there. He didn't like it. Hotel service was poor.

  • In a few billion years this will be our new home, cause the suns expansion will one day destroy the earth... BUT its heat will travel further out, warming the outer planets and melting the said ice of this video. Apparently it has more water than the Earth! Wow.

  • Considering the average existance of a species on earth is maybe a couple of million years, barring any astranomical or geological disaster.

    It is extreamly farfetched to think we would exist as a species at the point.

    I'd also like to point out that deserts on the surface of the earth seem to continually and constantly expand. They don't shrink. It'll be nice big ball of sand and water at some point. Geology is fun!

  • Thats not true, just because deserts expand does not mean they will expand to incapsulate the entire earth. Furthermore some scientific models suggest that the Sahara will shrink in the near future.

  • Biosphere, evolution and Earth...love to play together, a more dessertic planet is just a stage on this game...evolution and biosphere will play on this new stage too so, yeah...we still have some life for a couple of millions of years

  • the entire earth canot become desert because that would mean the water just left the earth

  • well, the antartic continent is a dessert and is full of ice. Anyway, my point was "not huge life forms"...

  • the atoms of water could have been changed into hydrogen and oxygen atoms and so the world could become entirely dry but with a much denser atmosphere

  • its not at all far fetched to assume we would live considerably longer than the averege species, all other species have had very low capability to adapt to their suroundings, if any. we can do that very very well.

  • yet we're still, phylogenetically, acutely specialized. Even if we have the knowledge to somehow abstract our livable environment to a high tech solution, ultimately, we are warm blooded thin skinned (not hardy) mammals. Contrast to a cockroach, and you see what I mean.

  • Don't poke fun at Io.

  • IO roxs

  • mars is our best chance planet we could live on, sorry for my english

  • fuck nasa is stupid . whay are they spending all there time on mars

    EUROPAAAAAAAAA

  • Best chance to find life outside our earth? FORGET ABOUT MARS!!! LET"S HEAD FOR EUROPA!!!

  • Europa rules! best moon in the gayest solar system

  • if theres any life there its gonna be simple organisms.

  • yes. but if there are simple organisms on europa, there are simple organisms everywhere in the universe. and if we are to believe evolution theory, that also means there can be complex life everywhere in the universe.

  • We have to go there! We have to find out whether life has evolved in those oceans under the ice there! It's the most important task in the whole solar system now, and NASA needs to"get it's finger out" with these missions they're planning to Europa(and to a couple of other Jupiter moons, there are two more there which can have oceans under the ice caps)

  • it certainly rocks!

  • Hoping theres life lol!

  • wow now that i watched this video i think europa is mysteriously cool!!! maybe some life is forming there?! or it can sustain aquatic life?!

  • I became a fan of Europa in middle school when I had to do a research on it. And I'm still amazed by it.

  • All these worlds are your except Europa. Attempt no landing there. Use them together.  Use them in peace.

  • I like ponies

  • watch this!!!!!! So cool!!!!!! type in "Art of Walid" in the search box.JUST DO IT!!!!!

  • whaterver you say to us about that planet,

    i'll still say the wolrd is just awsome to live in!!!

  • Europa might have water but it isnt warm enough when the water erupts through the planet therefore it freezes when it gets to the surface and theres absolutely no way it can substain human life since it is way too cold and far away it is a FULL water planet has no land whatsoever

  • They never said it could sustain HUMAN life.

    They said it could sustain LIFE.

  • still the main reason why they say that stuff and is interested is because they "want" it to substain human life and you kno that people arent interested on what kind of life besides anything that can substain us

  • No,theyre looking for aliens.

  • I don't know about you, but I don't give a fuck about trying to live on anywhere besides Earth.

    We barely even know about Earth. We know more about our moon than our oceans.

  • point?

  • you tard no other planet or moon in our solar system has that amount of water... water equals life. no living being from a whale down to a bacteria can survive without water... there is a real high chance life exists there. POINT!

  • point?its too cold for anything major to live there so point?

  • ok i didn't know you were special ed... this video shows the temperature fluxuation underneath the crust... were do polar bears and seals live??? oh yeah, the anractic, europa has water!!!! water too cold to hold life? you are an idiot. its water you stupid fucking tard! no need to explain shit to your helmet wearing ass.

  • ok mr.imsosmart calling me special ed my iq is actually 2 below genius using bad language u must feel cool and polar bears and seals?u kno how far out jupiter is from the sun?its too cold for them to live there and polar bears and seals dont live in the water they are mammals they need air

  • iam more intelligent than you.

  • sure good for you saying you are more intelligent than someone doesnt prove anything

  • this is what i mean by you being special ed, there are talking about that's the most probable moon to hold life, nasa proved there is water, and there are looking for micro organisms not fucking whales cocksmoker... you are lame..

  • i am lame?cocksmoker?is that even possible? i think your in special ed cause i never said whales live there i said its too cold for anything major to live there key word is major and i dont need to speak to u anymore a person with low intelligence thinks they are cool by using that type of language what a waste of my time ur probably 12 years old nasa didnt prove there was water they never went to that moon and see it for theirselfs they are making assumptions so get ur facts straight

  • Actually bro, Jupiter emits more heat than our own sun. lol. I just found that out, because, NASA had said that Jupiter is pretty much a giant heater. Or pretty much another sun. Meaning that if enough time passes and our current sun send enough Positive Photons towards Jupiter at such a high amount of heat and energy, Jupiter can become another sun, However, This will take a few more years, Since in recent studies Jupiter is emiting more heat and sucking 100 times from our sun ^_^

    NAMASTAIWA.

  • if this was so true then europa's surface wouldnt be so cold since it is so close to jupiter nasa are making theories

  • that's impossible!

  • Yes, jupiter does emit a higher temperature than our sun's surface... but I'm not too sure about that theory. The compositions of the sun and Jupiter are different.

  • He emits more energy than he receives from the sun. He is far colder than earth indeed.

  • WATER = LIFE

  • lol, I think thats pretty obvious ^_^

  • @Funboy670

    you are Stupid as Fuck

  • yeah ok im stupid but u have nothing to say about how i am stupid right?ive already watched everything about europa on discovery channel and shit so yeah

  • I Highly disagree. First I want to say that just because Europa is "cold" doesnt mean it cant support AQUATIC LIFE. There's organisms that live at THE BOTTOM of the Arctic Ocean. With NO direct sunlight. Heat is not required for life, take a look at Riftia. The bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, no sunlight, and spewing sulfuric acid hot enough to burn yo ass up. But guess what, its an ORGANISM. So it doesnt matter if it supports human life, ANY life outside of Earth is a milestone in mankind IMO.

  • lol what u dont get is this is earth not europa it can be at the bottom of atlantic ocean with no sunlight but there is still heat do u kno why?want me to explain?as u get further into the earth it gets warmer and organisms feed off of things down there

  • See but what people fail to understand is that although thats EARTH laws of life, who says that those same laws applies to the ENITIRE universe? You dont know, I dont know, NO ONE KNOWS. So therefore, your explanation is nothing but a theory. just as well as mines. Oh and not all Arctic Organisms feed off "things down there" lol open your mind. It will expand your horizons. Stop thinking close-minded. So unless you have the book of life in your hands. I rest my case. Good day and night lol.

  • um i never said it was for the entire universe so yeah i said it was for europa which my theory is probably more likely than urs since the sun is way way far from it which probably only micro organisms can survive there in extreme temperatures and only they can cause theres so little heat stop trying to make things more complicated than they already are i rest my case good day good night

  • Its Good Day AND Good Night. Get it RIGHT, get TIGHT, or else Well FIGHT LOL. Oh and guess what "micro organisms" are? Per what you said as quoted. LIFE FORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! LMAO You fuckin dumb ass bitch. Dont play yourself like you just did. LOL silly kids.

  • when i meant life forms i meant something as major as us and other things like animals?so yeah thats all u got? lol silly kids?i said good day good night cause i was mocking u so yeah ur just a little child using verbal language to think he's cool or she or it

  • I got the nitequil for that common cold, bitch stop coming for me. Bitch you dont have my PO Box, how you going to drop a package off at the wrong address? Lol I said life mean UNCODITIONAL LIFE. Life in General. Swallow your pride and admit your wrong, damn lol. Lastly it all started from my OPINION, how you going to argue down someones opinion? Lol wow.

  • it started from ur opinion?since when?im sure u replied to something i said to someone weeks ago what are u talking about the PO box and stuff are u like mentally ill? and im sure u meant life as in us not life in general and i can say the same to u as in swallow ur pride ignorant brat

  • LOL! Dont get your panties in a bunch.

  • i guess u dont have any more of ur little embarrasing vulgar words to throw anymore good job noticing how ignorant u are im proud of u /pat

  • The pot cant call the kettle black because if you call yourself taking the high road, then you would have never stooped down to my level lol come on now. Never I'm I embarrassed. I'm done arguing with you. It was fun while it lasted but its getting old now and I have a life to tend to then continue this with you because you will go on forever (not to my face though). Anyways, I'll let you have the last laugh. Take care youtube friend! ;)

  • u dont make any sense at what u say i wont go on forever not to ur face though?doesnt make sense and seeing how u reply to my messages so often i guess u dont have a life to tend to of course ill have the last laugh :) i always will

  • lol io is constantly cutting the cheese.

    I used to think Io was the coolest Galilain moon but Europa ssounds even cooler. i mean i heard that it might have water present under it's surface but not a global ocean! and the whole fact that it can restore itself constantly is really cool

  • Can we find life in space in different galaxies other than ours?

    (That would take a long time unless there is a way to travel in space faster)

  • lol we arent even ever going to look in different galaxies lol we are only going to look in closest solar systems if something, it would take us 100,000 light years to even leave our galaxy

  • I know, but it would be cool if they launch a sattelite to a different galaxy, and after... 2000 years (or more), you'll see everything =P

  • its still more then 2k years lol more like 179,000light years to the closest galaxy from milkyway + 179,000ly for any signals holding info to come beack to earth, thats like thousands of generations of lives

  • Then let them create this big huge antenna on the space ship (I'm guessing 10,000KM long)

    =P

  • Also imagine they send a spaceship now that travels at speed of light lol by the time it even gets to different galaxy technology on earth would develop so much that we maybe would be able to port into that galaxy before teh first satelite even gets there.
