"subsurface ocean on Europa." Better than saying "underground ocean"... subsurface ocean sounds like it's on the... 'surface'. There are people in NASA whose only job probably is coming up with new con werds. "underground" sounds underhanded. Subsurface 'sounds' like it's on the surface, Right? It's water, an ocean on the subSurface! Right on top, right!!? It's shooting sky high! and you girls fall for this stuff....everyday.

It's under an ice surface. > subsurface ocean sounds like it's on the... 'surface'. Would you claim the winter Arctic Ocean is underground or under surface ice? Europa is likely a water ice surface on top of a water ocean on top of a rocky ground of a differentiated solid or solid and molten moon. Friction from tidal flexing heats the underground which heats the ocean above freezing. That leads to possibility of thermal vents where some of the water does seep underground, heats up, dissolves minerals, and carries that back up to the subsurface above ground ocean. On Earth such vents sustain communities that don't use sunlight. Could there be life on Europa? -- Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eye are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye.
