Besides Earth itself, Mars is the most-studied planet in the solar system. But scientists think a vast ocean exists beneath the ice, kept liquid by friction produced as Europa is kneaded by Jupiter’s powerful gravity. Whether such plumes exist on Europa is an open question, says Robert Pappalardo, Europa Clipper’s chief scientist. Europa’s ice shell is much thicker than Enceladus’s, …
