Astronomers have shot at the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europe with radar waves. The result: the moon reflects the signals in an unusual way. What does that mean?
Radar Echoes From Europa Reveal Secrets Beneath the Ice - Astrobiology
A team of scientists has used NASA’s Goldstone Solar System Radar and the U.S. National Science Foundation Green Bank Telescope (NSF GBT) to carry out the most extensive radar study to date of Europa, the ocean world orbiting Jupiter. By repeatedly “pinging” Europa with 3.5‑centimeter radio waves between 2011 and 2024, the team measured how […] The post Radar Echoes From Europa Reveal Secrets Beneath the Ice appeared first on Astrobiology.
A new study with radar in Europe reinforces why this Jupiter moon is one of the biggest bets in the search for habitable environments off Earth. Using signals sent by NASA's Goldstone radar, and also captured by the Green Bank telescope, scientists have analyzed how radio waves cross and return from the surface...

New Insights into Europa's Hidden Interior from Radar Observations
Astronomers at the University of California, Los Angeles, utilizing NASA’s Goldstone Solar System Radar and NSF’s Green Bank Telescope, have discovered that the icy surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa scatters radio energy in a remarkably strong and intricate manner, unlike any rocky planet observed to date. Artist’s impression illustrating radar waves from NASA’s Goldstone Solar [...] The post New Insights into Europa’s Hidden Interior from Radar …
