'''Europa''' is one of [[Jupiter|Jupiter's]] four [[Galilean Moons]]. It is thought that there may be simple life, such as bacteria, on or under it's icy surface, and this was one of the contributing factors in [[w:NASA|NASA's]] decision to crash the [[Galileo Probe]] into Jupiter, out of fear that bacteria could contaminate the potential oceans of Europa.
