Taken from Chapter 6 : Moon creatures Scientists who search for life on other planets are fascinated by Europa, a moon of Jupiter, the Solar System's biggest planet. Saturn's moon Titan may also have some simple forms of life in its cloudy, orange-tinted atmosphere. Life on a frozen moon might seem unlikely. Although a search for life would normally be made somewhere closer to the Sun, Europa is now thought to be a reasonable sight to investigate. Its surface is covered with thick ice, warmed by tidal energy from Jupiter. Huge chunks of ice pushed up through Europa's surface, before freezing solid. No signs of life have yet been found on Jupiter's moon, but discoveries on Earth have led scientists to believe that life might exist in Europa's oceans.
