NASA will host a Science Update at 10 a.m. PST (1 p.m. EST) on Wednesday, Nov. 16, to discuss new theories concerning Jupiter's ice-bound ocean-moon Europa. The deepest ocean on Earth is the Pacific Ocean's Marianas Trench, which although it reaches a depth of 6.8 miles is awesomely trumped by the depth of the ocean on Europa, which some measurements put at 62 miles! The event will be held at NASA Headquarters in Washington. Delete the scoop?
