• The NASA Connection: Antarctica serves as a "dress rehearsal" for space exploration. The high-pressure, chemically isolated environments of its subglacial lakes provide a direct parallel to the subsurface oceans of Jupiter’s moon Europa, making the continent the ultimate laboratory for testing theories on extraterrestrial life.

@setiinstitute A great total view towards Europa is visible here.#Jupiter's #moon is subject to multiple #scientificinterests. One of them is represented by the NASA #EuropaClipper #Mission that launched in October 14, 2024. The #spaceprobe has different purposes. Besides the superficial ice crust it i.a. collects information about the #subsurface #ocean. Europa is one candidate for possible #extraterrestriallife.

Earthquakes shake up Yellowstone’s subterranean ecosystems

Up to 30% of life, by weight, is underground. Seismic activity may renew the energy supply for subterranean ecosystems. Eric Boyd and colleagues chronicled the ecological changes in subsurface microbial communities that took place after a swarm of small earthquakes rattled the Yellowstone Plateau Volcanic Field in 2021.
