James Webb Telescope detects carbon from Europa's ocean, bolstering case for extraterrestrial life
- Carbon dioxide detected on Europa's surface likely originated from subsurface ocean.
- Presence of carbon indicates similarity to Earth's chemistry and potential for hosting life.
- Evidence found in geologically active region called Tara Regio where material can rise from ocean.
- Future missions like Europa Clipper and JUICE will further study Europa's habitability.
- Discovery fuels excitement about prospects for finding alien life in our solar system.
