Chunky CNN Paragraph

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and one of Jupiter's moons might support life. The moon is called Europa. It's one of the fourth largest moons of Jupiter and it might be home to life forms or even support life. As stated in the CNN article by Amanda Barnett, "Interest in the icy world heated up in 2012 when the Hubble Space Telescope observed water vapor above the south polar region of Europa" (Barett, paragraph 3). This is pretty awesome! In a context that makes it easier to understand. This quote means that Jupiter's once icy moon is now sprouting out water. To be more in detail, ocean water. Now the moon might be able to support life  because we know that the ice is melting and actually have water, that can sustains life forms and maybe even our own. If Europa is also melting and the ice become a ocean, we might be able to understand, more in detail, how life forms came to be and how long it takes to evolve in a environment. Scientist could also send other organisms to see if they could evolve or adapt to their new environment. NASA hopes to build a new probe that will hopefully determine if Europa has the ingredients of life. The mission so far has $30 million in the 2016 budget. If the mission does get approved the probe will be sent out in the 2020's (Summary of paragraphs 7, 9 and 10). If the probe is sent out we will be able to see if we could actually put life on the planet or at least support some form of life. It's a great plan because if anything happens to Earth somehow, we could actually move to this moon and it would be able to sustain us and we would be able to benefit from the moon. Though it would take forever to get to the moon. It would take several years and that's why the Juno project was so expensive, around $30 billion. But it's a good because this new project will help us into a new step of life and exploration. It could help us understand life more and if Europa could actually sustain any type of life. In conclusion, Europa will take us a step further into our exploration and help us advance our technology. Europe might actually help us find other life organisms in the solar system or our whole galaxy.
