How deep is Europa's ocean?

Hello all
This is just a quick video I did as an experiment with 3D graphics, and it's a fun topic to think about. How deep is Europas ocean?

I think the scariest thing about this is that it’s most likely absolutely void of life. Imagine being trapped in a part of the ocean where there is 0 sunlight, and there is absolutely nothing else down there with you

"Despite the great depth of Europa's ocean, hydrostatic pressure at the seafloor would be 130-260 MPa (19, 000–38, 000 psi), corresponding to 13-26 km (8-16 miles) depth of a theoretical Earth's ocean. The hydrostatic pressure is not beyond the edge of existing deep-sea technology".

"Detecting multiple leviathan class life forms on this region. Are you sure whatever you're doing is worth it?"

You know something no one has considered is its very very low gravity. If theres life there it could be big...i mean life in the ocean is already big because of the ability to support wieght, but on a small moon, we could be looking at city sized jelly fish and crestations the size of school busses.

[markomalizani]

The measures of its deepth are fascinating to me. thank you for this explanation sir.


God Bless you and yours sir.

Bro, europa is much scarier than a planet from subnautica 💀

[jichaelmorgan]

I thought this was a video about the Mediterranean ocean at first 😂

[KickenItOldSchool]

The pressures at the bottom are actually comparable to the Mariana trench because Europa is quite small and its gravity is very low. So its actually not too bad considering we've already sent probes that can handle that pressure to the Marianna Trench, but getting through the ice would be very difficult

[jichaelmorgan]

If life is found on Europa that will mean the universe is absolutely teeming with life!

[TheAstrobiologistOW]

Is around 100km the depth at which ice-VII would start to form and therefore that would be the bottom or is it simply where we think the moon's rocky core starts?

[allaware]

The water halfway that deep is probably a viscous gel..

[zeNUKEify]

Imagine what kind of colossal sea monsters could exist in oceans that deep without the crushing gravity of Earth. They just probably don’t have an easy food supply

[b_hav_]

We dont even now much about the deep deep seas of Earth. God know whats lying down that deep.

[timoshenko]

Nevertheless it’s worth the effort. Finding life in those oceans would be the most relevant discovery in history. It would define the path of space exploration for the next thousand years.

[Minimalicius]

Now open Google Earth and draw a circle with a 100km radius around your city to get a better picture of how deep that ocean is 👀

2:49 Someone that has the resources, some artistic design talents, and access to the ocean could perhaps create a collapsible "Dyson sphere" with a membrane and structure that gains strength with increased compression? Maybe strategically placed rows of "elastic pegs and holes" that interlock on the membrane folds, creating tighter and stronger seals between the interlocking master plates under greater pressures?
It's a bit of a stretch, but maybe even a design with multiple spherical capsules of pole opposing magnetic repulsion layers within the probe? (For when it reaches maximum compression levels.)
As I see it, some of the biggest problems will involve the displacement of mass from within the structure itself, as the overall size of the sphere will be dramatically reduced from its expanded form under such immense pressures.

Maybe the entire framework, as well as the outer plates could be comprised of "foam"-like materials that get smaller and stronger under greater compression?
What do YOU think?

[NoSoupU]

I heard water at those kinds of depths take on a jelly like form...almost a none liquid form.

[kenon]

I would have loved if you put a cross section at the end, to really understand the dimensions and how massive they are

[tonyfrass]

Wonder what the water pressure be leaking like do a video on it some day 🎉

[jerrymail]

So, there is a Monolith trapped in the ice ? 😁
