🪐 Beneath the thick ice of Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus lie hidden oceans of liquid water, confirmed by spacecraft detecting plumes of water vapor shooting into space. These subsurface oceans are kept warm and liquid by tidal heating—the friction from the moons being squeezed and stretched by their giant planets’ gravity—making these secret seas some of the most intriguing places in our solar system. ✨ #moons⚡#oceans⚡#tidalheating⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries ​
