This image depicts Europa, one of Jupiter's four Galilean moons. These moons are by far the largest of Jupiter's moons, the four together comprising 99% of the mass of all of Jupiter's dozens of natural satellites. Europa is covered in ice and is believed to have an ocean of liquid water just beneath the surface. This moon is one place of particular interest for astronomers in the search for extraterrestrial life.
