"Europa's Oxygen Production: Potential for Supporting 1M Humans"

New findings from the Juno mission to Jupiter's moon Europa reveal that the moon's icy surface produces less oxygen than previously thought, potentially dashing hopes for finding microbial life there. Despite evidence of an ocean below the surface and the presence of essential chemical elements, the rate of oxygen loss from the moon's atmosphere may limit its habitability. Other potential candidates for alien life in our solar system include Mars, Saturn's moon Enceladus, and Titan. Future missions, such as NASA's Europa Clipper and the Juice mission, are expected to provide more information on Europa's habitability.
