The implications of this interpretation-which includes the idea that there are active intermittent openings from the liquid ocean to the frozen surface-are immense. The warmth, the chemistry, and the connections from ocean to surface provide the conditions necessary for the existence of life, even at this relatively remote locale in our solar system, far beyond what's normally thought of as its 'habitable zone.'Unmasking Europa describes in clear but technically accurate terms-and with extensive illustrations (including more than 100 NASA mission images)-the remarkable history of research on Europa over the last four decades.
