Reports say that new research suggests Jupiter's moon Europa has a body of water the size of the Great Lakes just two miles below its icy surface has brought scientists one step closer to determining whether or not the freezing satellite is suitable for the development of extraterrestrial life.According to NASA, scientists have long thought that a huge ocean bigger than all of earth's oceans combined existed below Europa's surface. But since the moon is so far from the sun, the surface ice is thought to be tens of miles thick. Now, scientists analyzing data from NASA's Galileo spacecraft have found ice blocks on Europa's surface that suggest an interaction between the moon's icy shell and a lake-like body of water under the surface, Discovery reports. According the lead author of the study that appears in the journal Nature, this could mean nutrients and energy are moving between the ocean and icy shell."One opinion in the scientific community has been if the ice shell is thick, that's bad for biology. That might mean the surface isn't communicating with the underlying ocean," Europa and its ocean more habitable."To come to this conclusion, Schmidt and her team analyzed "chaos terrains," areas of dark, bumpy, irregular features on the surface of Europa.The researchers determined that it was heat rising from the moon's deep subterranean ocean and melting ice near the surface, creating briny lakes inside the moon's thick ice shell, that may have caused the collapse of these roughly circular structures

An ice cavern containing as much water as the North American Great Lakes may provide a potential habitat for life on Jupiter's moon Europa, scientists believe.

I'd never live on one of Jupiter's moons. That cursed planet is a magnet for debris. Imagine all the crap crashing on those moons regularly xD
