- Europa, Jupiter's Moon - NASA Solar System Exploration
Learn about Jupiter's icy moon Europa. Like the Earth, Europa is thought to have an iron core, a rocky mantle, and a surface ocean of salty water. Unlike on Earth, however, this ocean is deep enough to cover the whole surface of Europa, and being far from the Sun, the ocean surface is globally frozen over.
