There is strong evidence that beneath Europa's frozen exterior of ice lies an ocean of liquid water – one of the essential ingredients for all living organisms. Many scientists believe that this vast subterranean sea could host living microorganisms similar in size and complexity to bacteria found on Earth.In terms of Jupiter's radiation, Europa's surface is not habitable for humans, Io is even worse plus volcanoes, and Ganymede is also bathed in radiation more so than Mars with a weaker magnetic field. Only Callisto could be colonized for the long term.Europa and Ganymede are the two most likely to potentially support life. What would happen if some of Jupiter's smaller rock moons collided into Europa
Could we land on Jupiter’s moons : The levels of ionizing radiation on Io, Europa and long-term on Ganymede, are hostile to human life, and adequate protective measures have yet to be devised. It could be possible to build a surface base that would produce fuel for further exploration of the Solar System.
Is there life on Ganymede
A computer model of Ganymede's interior created in 2014 supported the idea that the development of primitive life might be possible there. The model indicated the icy moon's rocky sea bottom might be in contact with salt water. Scientists think water and rock interacting are key for the development of life.
Can life exist on moons : While the lunar surface is hostile to life as we know it, a deep lunar biosphere (or that of similar bodies) cannot yet be ruled out; deep exploration would be required for confirmation.
Some scientists are skeptical that Ganymede could host life, however. Due to its internal structure, it is believed that the pressure at the base of the ocean is so high that any water down there would turn to ice. Titan is not a pleasant place for life. It is far too cold for liquid water to exist, and all known forms of life need liquid water. Titan's surface is -180°C.
Could life exist on Enceladus
In 2017, scientists found evidence at Enceladus of chemistry that could help sustain life, if present, in its ocean. The combination of carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen in the plume was suggestive of methanogenesis, a metabolic process that produces methane.Hidden oceans
Enceladus, along with Jupiter's moons Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede, all hide massive global liquid-water oceans beneath their icy crusts. Having large amounts of liquid water available could be a huge support to a human colony.Titan is the only other body in our solar system on which humans could possibly live in the future. It's the only possible destination that works similar to Earth and is the only body that has liquid on or near its surface. Titan has a thick atmosphere, stronger than Earth, that would protect us from radiation. As with Europa and Ganymede, the idea has been raised that habitable conditions and even extraterrestrial microbial life may exist in the salty ocean under the Callistoan surface. However, the environmental conditions necessary for life appear to be less favorable on Callisto than on Europa.
Could we live in Ganymede : In fact, scientists think that Ganymede's ocean might hold 25 times as much water as Earth's ocean. But the immense depth of this body of water may be one of the reasons why life may not exist on this moon. "What we think happens inside Ganymede if you go deep enough is that the water becomes ice again," said Masters.
