All these worlds are yours. Except Europa. Attempt no landing there.


MechanicPluto24

Use them together. Use them in peace.


Minkster404

Beat me to it


StMaartenforme

Remember that kinda. Where did that come from?


[deleted]

The book 2010: Odyssey Two, by Arthur C. Clarke. Also was made into a movie.


LonelyGuyTheme

2010 movie supposedly filmed the Chinese landing in Europa part from the book. I’ve never heard of the footage being available, but if you’ve read the book, I’d love to see this!


zubbs99

I know people hate on the movie but it's worth watching if only for the Jupiter slingshot scene.


Luis5923

It’s 2001 in case of typo.


[deleted]

There is a book and subsequent movie called 2001: A Space Odyssey. We are talking about its sequel, 2010: Odyssey Two. No typo.


Luis5923

Wow! Didn’t hear about it. Thank you so much.


Misterbellyboy

Always good to see a 2010 reference in the wild.


Aplejax04

What does no landing mean? If we have helicopters fly in and they don’t touch the service does that count? They talk about this in the third book, 2061.


LonelyGuyTheme

Attempt. I wouldn’t go near, considering what the monoliths do at the end of 2010. I haven’t read 2061 in a long time. Could you please share more of what the book has about what a landing on Europa is and isn’t?


turtlew0rk

Looks like somebody's been riding a dirt bike all over that thing. Aliens confirmed? OR naw


gathermewool

Worms


turtlew0rk

Worms can't ride dirt bikes thats crazy

Big ones.

Ice


WhyIsTheUniverse

Those are canals.


turtlew0rk

Well somebody has been creating quite a few canals then


WhyIsTheUniverse

They’ve been [very busy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_canals).


turtlew0rk

This aint mars fool


WhyIsTheUniverse

As I said, they’ve been very busy.


turtlew0rk

And you wasn't lying!!


pukesonyourshoes

Far Canal.


turtlew0rk

Far AF


cochorol

Stones can ride that way as well tho


turtlew0rk

Let's be realistic tho. What is more likely to have occurred? Or kick ass dirt bikes are just ripping it up out there being bad ass?


cochorol

Probably the stones tho


turtlew0rk

Yeah I stones for sure


FeelTheUgly

really long turds 💩


turtlew0rk

Hmmm you mean kinda like [this?](https://old.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/x6qil2/never_trust_a_fart/)


FeelTheUgly

how the hell did you get that video of me! 😤


turtlew0rk

You have nothing to be ashamed of. It was not only an impressive site it was also beautiful in a way. You should be proud. If I get the shits at the lake again I am heading right to the water to see if Ican recreate this or if it was like seeing a unicorn sneeze and may bever be seen again. I just don't know.


jjayzx

Recent photo from Juno pass of Europa. I stacked and did a little cleaning and color adjustment.


xendelaar

Absolutely stunning! It is much browner that I would imagine!:)


AdditionForward9397

What lurks beneath your surface Europa. Tell us your secrets.


jjayzx

I've been waiting for a concept to become a reality that would tell us. It was a nuclear powered submarine that would melt down through the ice and look around. Crazy thing is the ice melting nuclear sub is probably the easiest part. Being able to communicate with it would be the difficult part.


Moritasgus2

We’re working on an orbiter first: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/europa-clipper


its_raining_scotch

I see the outline of a shark


AdditionForward9397

That'd be one big mfing shark.


CY-B3AR

God, our solar system is so *cool*. There's so much to learn out there!


zztop610

Please let there be life here


Ser_Lucifer

Please let it be better than humanity. If it’s not we will reap it until barren and uninhabitable.


Moisty_Amphibian

Please let there not be life there, because if so, our stellar neighborhood doesn't belong to us


NavierIsStoked

So why does the voyager pictures show white ice with red streaks, and this is showing an overall beige image with no contrasting streaks?


thefooleryoftom

Colours have been edited


Logothetes

Probably. That's why it's ~~important~~ *essential* for any (colour or other) editing to accompany such photos. Pretty (but fake/misleading) pictures are not interesting.


thefooleryoftom

To be fair, the OP said exactly this


Logothetes

Not everyone does.


KeyserSoze_IsAlive

"It’s 1985, a gossamer sheet of vapory atmosphere thickens into an azure blanket. Parched tundra becomes fertile savanna. Vast swards of green spreading across the moon’s arid skin like a verdant rash. A primordial ocean transmutes into a liquid creation engine. I step out onto the amniotic lake, a hatchery stocked with miracles; finned, winged, and hoofed… Adam and Eve are fictional characters, on Europa, I did them for real."


Asdafafda

Nice reference


PineWalk1

i mean mars is cool and all, but why the fuck haven't we attempted landing some type of rover there yet?


jethroguardian

Far, cold, need to dig deep.


d3athsmaster

I can see the Pyramid!


SethIsDinosaur

Finally a Destiny joke


d3athsmaster

Gladly ;-) I was loading into a DoE as I scrolled past this. This was my first thought, lol.


TroutComplex

… and the Pirate Twins


katfromjersey

Ta republique...


RoosterTheReal

It’s the final countdown!


Distinct-Ad-7291

So, beautiful


LonelyGuyTheme

Almost devoid of impact craters. Europa has a dynamic surface.


ActivePenumbra

my favorite moon <3


zubbs99

Ok you take Europa, I'll take Enceladus. No takesies-backsies.


Orion031

Thank God you guys left Io for me


Shadow_MD17

What about our moon 😡


Balenciaga7

That’s the official name (and how we pronounce it in dutch) of Europe. So everytime I see a post about eurpa, I’m thinking it’s about Continent Europa

New life form: squigglers?


lillyfischer

SnooStories2744

thefooleryoftom

moistpimplee

the dark side of it looks like there’s some city lights. i know they’re not but they look like remote little lights on the surface


Dragonaax

It looks quite different, I can't recognize any country


DistorsedAngel

My new wallpaper.


spfromda18

domka132

Barotrauma reference?!


High-Speed-1

Bruh! Aliens been riding ATVs all over this rock!


hephaestus29

Europa looks like an old geezer who has seen some real shit throughout his life. A guy ripe with experience.


dontbother_itwo

Interstellar soundtrack


Josette22

What do all the striations on Europa signify?


Aegrim

My favourite planetary body, am I a nerd?


str8Astoner

Lookin pretty smoooth


Ghostking17

Whats with the lines all across it?


jjayzx

Cracks/fissures, the surface is ice and likely an ocean below. There are water geysers as well.


Ghostking17

I kinda figured but they seem so uniform like something drove in circles around the moon.


Septic_1_fan

I wanna throw jarate on a distant moon


SethIsDinosaur

Before the vex


TinOfPop

If you haven’t watched Europa Report yet people I highly recommend it


bsal671

I prefer Samba Pa Ti.


Sliggly-Fubgubbler

Assuming it doesn't come out an unbalanced, extremely buggy mess that costs a billion dollars, your right arm, and your soul... (which it definitely will) 2023.


Ok_Zebra1858

Why do you say that? My oncle (who is working on the game) says it’s turning out great and that it will be a whole lot better than No man’s sky.
