The Voyager 2 mission captured a puzzlingly smooth surface of Europa with faint troughs dubbed 'crop circles,' indicating potential hydrothermal activity that could support life.
Europa Clipper, NASA's largest planetary mission, aims to investigate Europa's surface features and potential plumes to determine if the moon harbors conditions for life.
The enigmatic 'crop circles' on Europa hint at moving ice caused by hydrothermal activity, which might provide the necessary conditions for extraterrestrial life.
Astrobiologists are keen to discover if Europa has plumes, which would indicate geological activity and the presence of vital ingredients for sustenance.
