- Experimental evidence shows that Jupiter's moon Europa "glows in the dark." In laboratory tests, Europa ice analogues emit visible light in response to high-energy electron radiation, which is common on Europa. Future spacecraft can measure this glow to determine the moon's surface composition. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-020-01248-1 7 comments science
