NASA's concussion detection: There is life on Jupiter's satellite

Researchers from NASA discovered that the rate of oxygen and hydrogen production on Jupiter's satellites is similar to that of the earth.

The Europa satellite of Jupiter has the right chemical balance for living organisms, NASA said.

According to a recent study, the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen production on Europa is similar to that of the earth. This is the core factor to create life.

To estimate the ratio of substances on Europa, NASA studies how much hydrogen reacts with rocks to produce hydrogen. This process is called serpentinisation .

In this process (occurring similarly on earth), water seeps through minerals and reacts with rocks to form new minerals and hydrogen by-products.

Based on the knowledge of Europa, the team discovered satellite seafloor cracks increasingly expanding over time, thereby knowing how much material is available for serpentinisation.

To estimate oxygen production on Europa, scientists rely on the surface of the planet. They found that radiation from Jupiter could separate ice molecules and release oxygen.

Summarizing the two studies, they concluded that the amount of oxygen produced was 10 times higher than that of hydrogen - roughly similar to the rate in the earth.

This is a very important discovery because the above ratio of oxygen and hydrogen is the key factor to create the living environment.
