Different coloured blocks of ice on Jupiter's Europa moon
This artist's impression shows a simulated view from the frigid surface of Jupiter's moon, Europa, where temperatures drop to minus 170 degree Celsius. In the foreground, the potentially rough surface is visible, scattered with chunks of ice and dotted with reddish-brown areas, as Jupiter looms in the background. These darker regions are likely salts orig-inating from Europa’s subsurface ocean, which have made their way to the surface.
