We think they all have vast liquid water oceans beneath their frozen outer shells thanks to their highly elliptical orbits, which create such intense tidal forces that they are warmed from the inside out. Europa’s ocean is thought to be much deeper than those on Earth, but with a similar chemical balance. Enceladus, meanwhile, spews geysers into its atmosphere that contain at least some of the ingredients life requires.“One thing we’ve learned is that where you find liquid...…×ByOUR best shot at finding may lie in the of the outer solar system – particularly Titan and , and Jupiter’s moon .
