Summary:
- Europa, one of Jupiter's icy moons, has long been considered a top candidate for potential life in our solar system due to its subsurface ocean.
- However, a group of scientists is now questioning whether Europa is actually "dead" and incapable of supporting life, as the 3i Atlas spacecraft is set to investigate the moon's surface.
- The scientists argue that the moon's surface may be too inhospitable for life to exist, with a harsh environment and lack of energy sources to sustain any potential lifeforms.
