Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, and the sixth-closest to the planet. It is also the sixth-largest moon in the Solar System. The image shows the stunning diversity of Europa’s surface geology. Long, linear cracks and ridges crisscross the surface, interrupted by regions of disrupted terrain where the surface ice crust has been broken up and re-frozen into new patterns.

Once upon a time, Mars had lakes, or at least wetter conditions than it does today. The latest from NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover shows slabs of rock cross-hatched with shallow ridges that likely originated as cracks in drying mud, evidence of an ancient era when these sediments were deposited were.
Space Scene
A rocky planet discovered within the habitable area of the star nearest to our Sun may be covered with oceans.
The planet, named Proxima b, may be an ocean planet similar to earth.
In fact, it may even be the first exoplanet (outside of our Solar System) to be visited by robots from Earth in time.
