Europa The Ocean Moon tells the story of the Galileo spacecraft
probe to Jupiter's moon, Europa. It provides a detailed description
of the physical processes, including the dominating tidal forces
that operate on Europa, and includes a comprehensive tour of Europa
using images taken by Galileo's camera. The book reviews and
evaluates the interpretative work carried out to date, providing a
philosophical discussion of the scientific process of analyzing
results and the pitfalls that accompany it. It also examines the
astrobiological constraints on this possible biosphere, and
implications for future research, exploration and planetary
biological protection. Europa The Ocean Moon provides a unique
understanding of the Galileo images of Europa, discusses the theory
of tidal processes that govern its icy ridged and disrupted
surface, and examines in detail the physical setting that might
sustain extra-terrestrial life in Europa's ocean and icy crust.
