A thick layer of ice
I have read somewhere that scientists think that europa may have an underground ocean.
An icy surface.

Europa - a moon of Jupiter.
europa is Jupiter's moon. Jupiter has 4 moons, and Europa is one of them.
Scientists believe that there is liquid water, under the crust of Europa.
The scientists think that Europa can have the life on it.
They believe there is liquid water underneath its frozen surface. If there is liquid water on Europa, there might also be life.
The moon you are referring to is Europa. Europa is covered in a layer of ice, and its surface appears cracked due to tectonic forces caused by gravitational interactions with Jupiter and its neighboring moons. Beneath the icy crust, scientists believe there may be a subsurface ocean that could potentially harbor life.

Scientists believe that beneath Europa's icy surface lies a subsurface ocean of liquid water, which could provide the necessary conditions to support life. This ocean is thought to be in contact with the moon's rocky mantle, allowing for potential chemical interactions that are essential for biological processes. The presence of organic compounds and energy sources further enhances the possibility that life could exist in this intriguing environment.
