Europa's crustal cycle (postscript)

2002-11-26 Thread Bruce Moomaw
I should emphasize that, if Europa is going through repeat cycles of warming and then cooling, this almost certainly means that it has a brief period every few tens of millions of years when the ice crust is so thin that it melts through almost completely (and, indeed, DOES melt through completely

This appears to be a good time to remind folks of a few simple rules regarding this list: 1) Make sure your messages are *directly* related to Europa, including current and future spacecraft missions to the moon. If you're not sure if it's directly related, then it's probably not. 2) Please

Greetings, I notice that all the reports point to tidal forces caused by the other moons as to why Europa is that way she looks today. Given the timeframe, isn't it possible that Jupiter has also changed - ie become colder, less brilliant? One quick way to warm ice is to apply heat. I don't re

So does this mean having a Doctorate is the equivalent of being given god-like status? ;-) Joe Latrell On Tue, 2002-11-26 at 16:28, wmarcus wrote: > I offer to the Universe fresh primal post doctorate DNA and you want me to give >money to donate my precious body imprint?! > I do not believe t
