Europa thawing under a red giant Sun, illustration. Four billion years in the future, the Sun will turn into a red giant star, swelling to many times its present size. From being a bright star in the sky of Europa, it will dominate the sky and its warmth will melt the kilometres-thick layer of ice that covers the satellite’s surface. Here we see the giant Sun partially eclipsed by Jupiter. | |
