PIX4575161: Jupiter seen from its satellite Europe - Illustration - Jupiter from Europa's surface - Illustration - Jupiter seen from the icy surface of the satellite Europe. Europa is Jupiter's fourth largest satellite and is slightly smaller than the Earth's Moon. Europa is believed to be composed of silicate rocks with a layer of water ice covering the entire surface. This image is inspired by recent discoveries on Europa of regions that look very much like pack - ice on Earth's polar seas during spring thaws. The perspective is from an altitude of several thousand feet. The large crater in the foreground is about a half - mile in diameter. It may be that beneath Europa's surface ice there is a layer of liquid water, perhaps as much as 30 miles deep. This subsurface “” ocean”” would be kept liquid by tidally generated heat / Bridgeman Images
