"Juno's Discovery: Europa's Oxygen Production Could Sustain Millions"

NASA's Juno spacecraft has measured the rate of oxygen production on Jupiter's moon Europa, finding it to be much lower than previously estimated. The observations suggest that charged particles from Jupiter's magnetic field continuously erode Europa's icy surface, producing hydrogen and oxygen. The findings have important implications for future missions to the Jovian system, such as the European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission and NASA's upcoming Europa Clipper, which aim to study ocean worlds and their potential to support life.
