The Moon of Water

A NASA planetary mission has discovered large lakes just under the very rough and icy layer of Jupiter's moon Europa. Underneath these lakes is a vast ocean of liquid water. It is very difficult to study this ocean because the icy layer is ten miles thick! These lakes have the possibility of supporting life.

That Was Close!

Tomorrow, an asteroid will flyby Earth inside of the Moon's orbit! The last flyby of a large asteroid was in 1976 and the next one will be in 2028. A picture was taken of the asteroid yesterday (left) and it was about 860,000 miles away from Earth.
