A new study has revealed that Jupiter's moon Europa is rich enough in oxygen to support millions of tons of fish.
Europa has long been a subject of great interest to scientists as it is believed to be home to a vast liquid water ocean beneath a crust of ice 100 miles thick. If this is true and the new find turns out to be correct then it increases the chances even more that there could be life there.There may be enough oxygen in the waters of Jupiter's moon Europa to support millions of tons worth of fish, according to a new study. And while nobody is suggesting there might actually be fish on Europa, this finding suggests the Jovian satellite could be capable of supporting the kinds of life familiar to us here on Earth, if only in microbial form.
