Webb spots a building block of life on Jupiter’s moon Europa

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:50:22 GMT

(CNN) — A building block of life may exist inside the global ocean on Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons.Two independent teams of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe the frozen surface of Europa, and each analysis of the space observatory’s detections revealed an abundance of carbon dioxide within a specific region of the frigid terrain. Both studies describing the findings were published September 21 in the journal Science.“On Earth, life likes chemical diversity — the more diversity, the better. We’re carbon-based life. Understanding the chemistry of Europa’s ocean will help us determine whether it’s hostile to life as we know it, or if it might be a good place for life,” said Geronimo Villanueva, lead author of the first study and planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in a statement.Europa is one of several ocean worlds in our solar system besides Earth where scientists believe life could exist.
