The frozen surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa hides a liquid ocean that might contain alien creatures. Enceladus, one of Saturn’s many moons, has a sea the size of Lake Superior under its icy surface. Enceladus has some very surprising features that make it very interesting to astrobiologists. It is white and reflects almost 100% of the light that strikes it. It also has geysers on its surface that shoot out jets of water with ammonia and organic compounds. The temperatures near these geysers are likely very high. And Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, has vast lakes of liquid methane. If life existed here, it would be truly alien.
