    Ummm, I was talking about Io, the person who i was replying to said there was life on Io, to which I replied that the atmosphere is too hot and too sulphuric, not europa, please read the full story before replying next time.

  • @soittotaiteilija Before the 1980's, their was no other life we knew that could live in 170F+. But we discovered it can. to our knowledge, Io is the most geologically active object in our solar system.

  • @colooizawesome Nothing could survive, as in, nothing could evolve beneath Europa's surface? Sure, toxic to us, it may not be toxic to some species. Hydrothermal vents are theorized to exist beneath europa's surface. We know of many species and microbes that are able to live in, and near hydrothermal vents.

  • @lovedalord88 thats a great conversation to have. spread this idea!

  • i beleave that Europa needs to be moved from juputers orbit and pushed more towards the sun if we did this the ice would melt and the core would start working again basicly Terror forming the planet once walter is burned down the air inside would release and would make a atmusfear thing. cool thery of myn.

  • Nothing that conforms to Earthly biology, I'm sure.

  • @2011killa

    Surface is too cold, unless we develop gills we cant live underwater either.

  • @soittotaiteilija

    Impossible, its too cold in some ares, to hot in others.

    The atmosphere is toxic.

    Nothing could survive.
