NASA will host a teleconference at 2 p.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 26, to present new findings from images captured by the agency's Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter's icy moon, Europa.

Astronomers will present results from a unique Europa observing campaign that resulted in surprising evidence of activity that may be related to the presence of a subsurface ocean on Europa.

NASA currently plans to perform additional flybys of Europa and put a lander on the surface as part of the Europa Clipper mission [wikipedia.org]. The ESA's Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer [wikipedia.org] will also fly by Europa twice, but focus on Ganymede.
