One interesting detail I couldn't fit into the story:

NASA's Galileo probe visited Europa up close, but wasn't able to see the carbon dioxide deposits on the surface. Every time Galileo got close to Europa, Jupiter's intense radiation blinded its sensors. 
Scientists had to step back 500 million miles to get a clear view!
