"Most excitingly, this new idea addresses one of the longstanding habitability problems on Europa and is a good sign for the prospects of extraterrestrial life in its ocean."
Jupiter ocean moon Europa likely lacks tectonic activity, reducing its chances for life
New models suggest that Europa has very little tectonic activity at its seafloor, which is potentially catastrophic news for the hopes of finding alien life within its ocean.
