Close-Ups Expected of Jupiter's Icy Moon ; Europa With Its Vast Ocean Might Off Chance of Finding Life
694199
By Eric Hand  ST. LOUIS - A decade ago, NASA's Galileo probe made a stupendous discovery: A vast, warm, salty ocean - bigger than all of Earth's put together - under the icy crust of Europa, one of Jupiter's four large moons.  Ever since, William McKinnon has been chafing to go back.
