Скачать или смотреть Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa may have less oxygen than we thought

On Monday (March 4), scientists revealed their achievement in quantifying the presence of molecular oxygen—the type essential for life on Earth—around Jupiter’s moon Europa.

Despite prior estimations of the icy moon’s oxygen levels, this marks the first direct measurement of such content.

In summary, the findings fell short of some previously high estimates.

Does this suggest that Europa, thought to contain a substantial ocean of briny water beneath its icy surface, may be less conducive to the emergence of life, at least as we understand it?

Not necessarily, but it does prompt intriguing discussions that warrant additional exploration.

As per the research, earlier assessments of Europa’s oxygen levels relied on deducing information from atomic oxygen emissions linked to the moon.

Unlike molecular oxygen, composed of two oxygen atoms, atomic oxygen consists of just one, Space.com reported.
