A new study seeks to highlight a point that worries public health experts: Not only is “average temperature” rising due to the climate crisis, but extreme weather patterns that have already occurred in the past may also return – and when they do

The study proposes a new definition: the "radiolitic habitable zone" - in contrast to the classic "habitable zone" (the region around a star that allows liquid water to exist on the surface), the radioolitic habitable zone focuses on places where water exists.

Simulation of the lander. According to the proposal, the lander will be launched between 2024-2025 and will arrive several years after the arrival of the EMFM probe, which will make many flybys near Europe. It will be able to photograph it at a very high resolution to find safe but scientifically interesting landing sites, and roly noses like the one described in the simulation - near plumes of water coming out as geysers from the moon Atal past Hal, and it is estimated that, if they do exist in Europe, they originate in its sub-ice ocean.
