Scientists have discovered the great possibility of the existence of life on Jupiter's icy moon Europa.
Based on a theoretical research, scientists from the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil evaluated microbial habitability of Europa using data collected from similar environments on the Earth.
“We studied the possible effects of a biologically usable energy source on Europa based on information obtained from an analogous environment on Earth,” said Douglas Galante, a researcher at Brazil’s National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS).
The scientists discovered a site on Earth with a similar terrestrial context to Europa. They also found Mponeng gold mine near Johannesburg, South Africa, at a depth of 2.8 km with traces of major changes linked to history of life on Earth.
