Cool Science: Ice on Europa and Mars

Dr. Elizabeth Turtle discusses the upcoming Cassini spacecraft mission to study Saturn's icy moons and the potential for liquid water on Europa. The podcast explores the evidence for liquid water beneath Europa's ice, the absence of impact craters indicating a young surface, and the necessary ice thickness for observed craters to form. They also touch on the possibility of water ice on Mars and the longevity of ice on Europa and Mars through modeling and imagery.
