they\u2019ve long believed life could be is on one of\u00a0Jupiter\u2019s 79 moons.<\/p>\n<p>The moon in question is Europa \u2013 and there\u2019s a very valid reason why.<\/p>\n<p>Europa has water and oxygen, the essentials for sustaining life, as well as chemicals that could serve as nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>But proving all this has been tricky for experts \u2013 mainly because we\u2019ve never actually tested samples and can only rely on observations.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, Europa is home to ice-covered oceans believed to be about 15 miles thick and scientists suspect life may well be underneath.<\/p>\n<p>How the oxygen gets past the huge ice for whatever lurks deep down to breathe has been left to scientific theory, but now a team have put together a model to show just how it could work.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re convinced saltwater within the icy shell could be transporting oxygen.<\/p>\n<p>Building a physics-based computer simulation of the process, the oxygen basically hitches a ride on salt water under the moon\u2019s \u201cchaos terrains,\u201d landscapes made up of cracks, ridges and ice blocks.<\/p>\n<p>Their findings show that it\u2019s not only possible but could mean Europa\u2019s ocean has a similar amount of oxygen as the oceans back here on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur research puts this process into the realm of the possible,\u201d said Professor Marc Hesse, from the University of Texas at Austin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt provides a solution to what is considered one of the outstanding problems of the habitability of the Europa subsurface ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nasa is planning to send an orbiter called the Europa Clipper out in 2024, which could build on their findings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s enticing to think of some kind of aerobic organisms living just under the ice,\u201d co-author Dr. Steven Vance added.<\/p>\n<p>British Professor Monica Grady\u00a0has previously said she believes we have a better chance of finding alien life on Europa than Mars, which tends to steal most of the focus.<\/p>\n<p>And if there is, it could be octopus-like.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019ve got a better chance of having slightly higher forms of life on Europa, perhaps similar to the intelligence of an octopus,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The study was published in the\u00a0Geophysical Research Letters journal.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article
