Exploring Ocean Worlds: The Search for Life and Interesting Chemistry in Our Cosmic Backyard

Our solar system is home to a diverse array of ocean worlds: bodies that contain oceans and seas of liquid, usually water, either on their surfaces or underneath icy crusts. These worlds are prime targets of exploration as they may contain all three ingredients for life as we know it - water, chemistry, and energy. Could life exist in the subsurface oceans of Enceladus or Europa? Could even stranger life have emerged in the liquid methane lakes of Titan? Join Dr. Morgan Cable, a Research Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, as she discusses our current state of knowledge of these ocean worlds as well as some current missions and future mission concepts to explore their plumes, surfaces, and ocean depths. This webinar was recorded on August 22, 2024.
We’re launching STEM Engagement to new heights with learning resources that connect teachers, students, parents and caregivers to the inspiring work at NASA. Join us as we apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics to explore space, improve aeronautics, examine Earth and strive to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon with the Artemis program.

If NASA discovers life as we know it on a planet other than Earth, what would be the next step?
