Interesting video about Europa the lovely moon of Jupiter

This was a really cool video about the NASA Clipper mission, which is sending a probe to Europa to do a four year survey mission of that moon and look for data and maybe the possibility of life. Interesting that they choose this moon and not the moon Enceladus of Saturn which actually might have an ocean.

Europa is all but confirmed to have a subsurface ocean, is it not? Potentially way older than anything Enceladus has below the surface.

(I may have misread what you meant.)

It's ok.

My interpretation of the video was that they think Enceladus might have a bit more of an active ocean below the surface because in the past probes have taken photos of the moon showing large water jets bring blasted out into space.
