Jupiter's ice moon Europa is widely regarded as the most likely place to find extraterrestrial life. This book tells the engaging story of Europa, the oceanic moon. It features a large number of stunning images of the ocean moon’s surface, clearly displaying the spectacular crack patterns, extensive rifts and ridges, and refrozen pools of exposed water filled with rafts of displaced ice. Coverage also features firsthand accounts of Galileo’s mission to Jupiter and its moons. The book tells the rough and tumble inside story of a very human enterprise in science that lead to the discovery of a fantastic new world that might well harbor life.

Inside the epic quest to find life on the water-rich moons at the outer reaches of the solar system Where is the best place to find life beyond Earth? We often look to Mars as the most promising site in our solar system, but recent scientific missions have revealed that some of the most habitable real estate may actually lie farther away. Beneath the frozen crusts of several of the small, ice-covered moons of Jupiter and Saturn lurk vast oceans that may have existed for as long as Earth, and together may contain more than fifty times its total volume of liquid water. Could there be organisms living in their depths? Alien Oceans reveals the science behind the thrilling quest to find out. Kevin Peter Hand is one of today's leading NASA scientists, and his pioneering research has taken him on expeditions around the world. In this captivating account of scientific discovery, he brings together insights from planetary science, biology, and the adventures of scientists like himself to explain how we know that oceans exist within moons of the outer solar system, like Europa, Titan, and Enceladus. He shows how the exploration of Earth's oceans is informing our understanding of the potential habitability of these icy moons, and draws lessons from what we have learned about the origins of life on our own planet to consider how life could arise on these distant worlds. Alien Oceans describes what lies ahead in our search for life in our solar system and beyond, setting the stage for the transformative discoveries that may await us.

In this second installment of the Europa Chronicles, the adventure begins when the recently retired president of the United States decides to visit Europa to establish his presidential library and cement his legacy on the beautiful and mysterious moon of Jupiter. Below the frozen surface of the golden-colored moon is a vast saltwater ocean with more water than all of Earth's oceans combined. The former president enlists the services of brilliant space architect Andrew Chen to design and build the most stunning and amazing structure ever conceived of, which is destined to become not only a presidential library but also the greatest attraction and scientific research center in the entire solar system. Europa the Ocean Moon is based on recent scientific discoveries that revealed a fascinating world with many similarities to our own planet with limitless possibilities as well as an abundance of life, not to mention a beautiful landscape and a breathtaking ocean below its frozen surface.
