Detecting traces of alien life

On November 17, scientists said a giant lake was hidden beneath the surface of Europa - the sixth satellite orbiting Jupiter. This may be a trace of alien life.

Huge warm lake underneath the crust of Europa.

The famous international scientific journal Nature published the report, which said the analysis of Europa's surface state found a warm lake deep beneath the icy crust of the satellite. this.

After carefully analyzing the parameters obtained from the robot that explored the life of a group of American experts, the scientists were surprised to discover a deep ocean of up to 160km, located somewhere around 10 - 30 km below the ice cover of Europa.

With this new evidence, space biologists could dream of realizing the journey of fictional character David Bowman in the fictional novel Odyssey 2 of C.Clarke. In the story, the explorer Bowman adventures onto the planet Europa and finds extraterrestrial life.

Europa has a diameter of 3,100km, smaller than the Moon (Earth's satellite). The structure of Europa is mainly silicate rock and can have iron core. Europa's smooth surface made scientists believe that underneath the outermost ice was a thick layer of water.
