[漢羅] 加利略四大衛星 ê 木衛二 Europa

咱若是來看 1990 年代後半木星系統 ê 資料，就會發現 加利略太空船 有記錄著 木衛二 Europa 足精彩 ê 影像。 這粒衛星 ê 表面冰層下底有一重足深 ê 全球性海洋。 這張加利略四大衛星 ê 木衛二 Europa ê 影像資料已經 重新處理過。 這擺有改善資料校正 ê 方式，才有法度產生彩色影像。 按呢產生 ê 色彩 kah 咱目睭看著 ê 較 相-siâng。 木衛二 Europa 表面足長 ê 彎曲痕跡，暗示講遐有地下水。 木星 ê 衛星踅木星 ê 長株圓軌道 leh 行。 木衛二 Europa 面頂 ê 潮汐作用提供能量，予伊 ê 海洋保持液體 ê 形態。 毋閣閣較 趣味 ê 是，就算是無太陽光，伊嘛是會當提供支持性命 ê 能量。 所以 木衛二 Europa 就變做是 地球 以外上有可能有性命 ê 所在。 毋知啥物款生物會當 tī 深閣暗 ê 地下海洋生存發展咧？ 是講地球家己嘛是有 tī 極地生存 ê 蝦仔 就是。

[English] Galileo's Europa

Looping through the Jovian system in the late 1990s, the Galileo spacecraft recorded stunning views of Europa and uncovered evidence that the moon's icy surface likely hides a deep, global ocean. Galileo's Europa image data has been remastered here, with improved calibrations to produce a color image approximating what the human eye might see. Europa's long curving fractures hint at the subsurface liquid water. The tidal flexing the large moon experiences in its elliptical orbit around Jupiter supplies the energy to keep the ocean liquid. But more tantalizing is the possibility that even in the absence of sunlight that process could also supply the energy to support life, making Europa one of the best places to look for life beyond Earth. What kind of life could thrive in a deep, dark, subsurface ocean? Consider planet Earth's own extreme shrimp.
