	Europa (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the name "Europa" was suggested by Simon Marius soon after its discovery, this name and the names of the other Galilean satellites fell out of favor for a considerable time, and was not revived in common use until the mid-20th century.
		Europa is somewhat similar in bulk composition to the terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of silicate rock.
		The temperature on the surface of Europa is 110 K at the equator and only 50 K at the poles, however, so the surface water ice is as hard as rock.

	Europa (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Europa (Greek Ευρώπη) was a Levantine woman in Greek mythology, from whom the name of the continent Europe was ultimately taken.
		The mythical Europa cannot be separated from the mythology of the sacred bull, which had been worshipped in the Levant.
		His picturesque details belong to anecdote and fable: in all the depictions, whether she straddles the bull, as in archaic vase-paintings or the ruined metope fragment from Sikyon, or sits gracefully sidesaddle in a mosaic from North Africa, there is no trace of fear.

	Jupiter's Moon Europa
		Europa may be internally active, and its crust may have, or had in the past, liquid water which can harbor life.
		The rock layer of Europa (drawn to correct relative scale) is in turn surrounded by a shell of water in ice or liquid form (shown in blue and white and drawn to the correct relative scale).
		Europa's water should have frozen long ago, but warming could be occurring due to the tidal tug of war with Jupiter and neighboring moons.

	Europa, the Phoenician Princess
		Overwhelmed by love for Europa, Zeus transformed himself into the form of a magnificent white bull and appeared in the sea shore where Europa was playing with her maidens.
		Europa became the first queen of Crete and had by Zeus three sons: King Minos of Crete, King Rhadamanthus of the Cyclades Islands, and, according to some legends, Prince Sarpedon of Lycia.
		However, some say that the Bull who carried Europa was the same Cretan Bull that Heracles enjoined in one of his labours, which in turn could be the same Bull, that was sent by Poseidon to King Minos of Crete, and that later, consorting with the king's wife Pasiphae, became the progenitor of the Minotaur.

		There is a possibility that Europa may be internally active due to tidal heating at a level one-tenth or less that of Io.
		Models of Europa's interior show that beneath a thin 5 km (3 miles) crust of water ice, Europa may have oceans as deep as 50 km (30 miles) or more.

	PSRD Feature Story: Europa's geology
		Europa's outer shell, intriguing to geologists and astrobiologists alike, has been cited as evidence supporting a subsurface-ocean hypothesis.
		The types of changes that could be detected on Europa include increases in height and width of ridges; formation of new surface cracks; new or larger pits, domes, and spots; new bright or dark deposits of ice or frost; or movement of crustal blocks by either rotation, tilting, submersion, or lateral displacement.
		Europa, the sixth largest moon in the Solar System, is about 3,160 kilometers (1,950 miles) in diameter, or about the size of Earth's moon.

	Galileo Project: Galilean Moons - Europa
		In a gravitational tug of war of incredible dimensions, Europa is pulled in different directions by Jupiter and by the planet's other moons in a process called tidal flexing.
		The outer surface of Europa is a rigid sphere.

	Possibility of Life on Europa
		Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter, appears to be one of the few places that we might find extraterrestrial life in our solar system (the others being Mars and Titan, a moon of Saturn).
		If there is life on Europa, it will exist in an ice covered ocean and could cluster around hot springs in the ocean floor and resemble life forms known to exist under similar conditions on Earth.
		The idea that Europa and other ice-covered bodies in our solar system might possess an ocean of liquid water under a crust of ice may have first been proposed by John S. Lewis in his paper Satellites of the Outer Planets: Their Physical and Chemical Nature (which appeared in Icarus, vol.15, 1971).

		Many scientists agree that Europa is now a high priority target for a major mission.
		But the pressure to go down to Europa's cracked and blotchy surface would be immense, said Professor John Zarnecki, the principal investigator on the surface science instruments loaded on to Huygens for its Titan descent.
		"The attraction of Europa is that it is a water world - the surface is frozen, of course, because of its exposure to cold space, but not far underneath the ice is an ocean of warm water.

	SPACE.com -- Magnetic Fields and Water on Europa
		Theoretical models that look at the behavior of Europas interior over time suggest that its possible that convection would quickly transport all the heat out of a liquid water layer and cause it to freeze solid, but its also possible that a liquid layer could be sustained over geological time.
		For example, the data for Europa cannot be explained by localized pockets of salty water, and instead require a nearly complete spherical shell of liquid water.
		The data are also not consistent with a field induced in Europa's ionosphere; the ionosphere is too tenuous to support the electrical currents needed to explain the strength of the field.

		Sulfur from volcanoes on Io may be responsible for a battery acid chemical on Europa with implications for astrobiology.
		Europa's leading hemisphere is toward the bottom right, and there are enhanced concentrations of sulfuric acid in the trailing side of Europa (the upper left side of the image).
		One theory proposed by Carlson to explain sulfurinc acid on Europa is that sulfur atoms originate with the volcanoes on Io, with the material being ejected into the magnetic environment around Jupiter and eventually whirled toward Europa.
