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.
