New findings about Jupiter’s moon is raising new doubts about life in space

New research indicates Europa's ocean might be less active than previously thought. Scientists studied Europa's interior and found its seafloor may be still. This suggests less energy for life to start and persist. Future missions like Europa Clipper will gather more data. These missions aim to understand the moon better, even if they do not find life.
