"James Webb Space Telescope's Discovery: Carbon Found on Europa, Jupiter's Icy Moon"

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected carbon dioxide on Jupiter's moon Europa, providing evidence of a subsurface ocean with the potential to support life. The carbon molecules were found to originate from Europa's internal ocean, indicating the presence of a biologically essential element. The discovery has important implications for the potential habitability of Europa and highlights the groundbreaking science made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope. The findings could also inform future missions, such as NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft and the European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission.
