@Umbertogaetani One thing that surprised me: I don’t see Roth et al.’s #HST work on #Europa’s #plume/water-vapor signatures cited here, nor Saur et al. or much from the Europa #SpacePlasma community.
Not fatal for their thermo-fluid model I guess, but given the broader claim about limited #ocean–#surface exchange, it feels like a gap in the framing.

@Umbertogaetani Their simulations suggest that #water rising through narrow dykes would freeze too quickly to supply the volumes needed for features such as chaos terrain, pits, domes or ridges. #Turbulence makes this worse by enhancing heat loss, supercooling the water, producing frazil ice, and clogging the dyke.
If correct, shallow liquid reservoirs on #Europa may form more by local in situ melting than by direct #ocean-to-surface exchange.

🌖🌊 Interesting new #NatureAstronomy paper on #Europa’s #subsurface #ocean:
Ojha, Barik & Buffo argue that direct liquid-water transport from Europa’s deep ocean into shallow subsurface reservoirs may be much more limited than often assumed.

Thanks @Umbertogaetani for sharing ✌️

Today at the institute, on my way to the kitchen, I passed the current issue of #LaborJournal. Its cover story is about #astrobiology on #IcyMoons. Funny to see my old #SpacePhysics PhD topic, icy moons, reappear here in #Neuroscience. The loop seems to close after all 😅

Today, on my way to the kitchen at the institute, I passed the current issue of "Labor Journal" (Lab Journal). Its cover story is about #astrobiology on #IcyMoons. Found it a bit funny to see this topic again here. I worked on icy moons back when I was still in #SpacePhysics. Now, in #Neuroscience, the loop seems to close after all 😅

We are getting ready for the second burn. It's a longer burn (more than 3 minutes) than the first one to bring Europa Clipper to interplanetary orbit. We can't see the burn on live pictures at the moment but we have live telemetry #EuropaClipper #NASA #Jupiter #Moon #IcyMoons #Europa #Space #science
