TL;DR Summary

NASA's Juno spacecraft has captured high-resolution images of Jupiter's moon Europa, revealing a region called 'the Platypus' where saltwater may reach the surface from an ocean beneath the ice. This discovery is significant for the search for extraterrestrial life, as it provides a promising location to study the composition of the water and look for living organisms. Two more missions, NASA's Europa Clipper and the European Space Agency's Juice, are set to explore Europa further in the coming years.
