By now you know that space GIFs are all kinds of mesmerizing. And here's a new one to add to your collection of favorites. Titled "GIF showing the amount of water on Europa compared to Earth," it recently started trending on Reddit after it was posted by user markkula.
The GIF was made from a YouTube video (which you can see below) about Jupiter's moon Europa. The moon holds a large ocean, which is thought to have more liquid water than Earth. It may harbor life, and NASA has proposed sending a probe called the Europa Clipper in about 10 years to investigate whether conditions are stable enough for life to thrive.
Incredible, isn't it?
