Could life exist on one of Jupiter’s moons?

B esides Earth itself, Mars is the most-studied planet in the solar system. The 47 missions that have been launched since the start of the space age have put probes in orbit and landers on the surface from half a dozen space agencies. One reason, of course, is that Mars is relatively close. Another is that Mars appears to have had plenty of liquid water on its surface in the past. And where there is water, astrobiologists get excited about the possibility of life.
