^{Pure Water Ice & Minerals on Europa}

^{Jupiter’s moon, Europa has been found to have pure water ice. Through the use of the Galileo Spacecraft, this image has been snapped using the Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS). With it we can see that the areas appear bright (red, orange, yellow) are due to surface compositions of pure water ice, and mixtures of water and other minerals.}
