“Magnesium should not be on the surface of Europa unless it’s coming from the ocean,” Brown
\nsays. “So that means ocean water gets onto the surface, and stuff on the surface presumably
\ngets into the ocean water.”<\/p>\n

“The finding suggests there is a chemical exchange between the ocean and surface, making the
\nocean a richer chemical environment. This exchange, Brown said, “means that energy might be
\ngoing into the ocean, which is important in terms of the possibilities for life there. It also means
\nthat if you’d like to know what’s in the ocean, you can just go to the surface and
\nscrape some off.'”
