Feeling a little salty about the weekend being too short? 😤
If so, you're not alone when it comes to
#SaltyVibes. The yellow color visible on the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa is actually sodium chloride — table salt.
Flybys from our Voyager and Galileo spacecraft have led scientists to conclude that:
1️⃣ Europa is covered by a layer of salty liquid water encased in an icy shell
2️⃣ Europa’s ocean may resemble Earth's oceans more than previously thought.
