NASA Europa Probe

Nasa’s Gallileo probe was sent to explore Jupiter and its surrounding moons.But what it brought back was extremely surprising.A quick thermal scan of Europa’s surface revealed a few areas of action because the area was an active red.The red was focused on and revealed about 2 holes opening and closing at regular intervals.Then they discovered that the water under Europa(or ice,because it was completely frozen)was found to be more than the water content of earth.There seems to be an opening in the surface at regular times and there appears to be an ice shelf about tens of miles thick underneath!Nasa is planning to launch a probe to investigate but that’s all for now.
