"Unveiling the Secrets of Ganymede's Mysterious Ocean"

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Juno mission has detected salts and organic compounds on Jupiter's moon Ganymede, providing strong evidence of a subsurface ocean beneath its icy crust. The salts and organics suggest an endogenic origin, possibly rising from the depths of Ganymede through cracks in the surface. While the presence of organics does not guarantee the presence of life, it raises the possibility of Ganymede's potential to support life. Further research is needed to determine the exact origin of the compounds and the extent of Ganymede's ocean.
