Over the past couple months, FAS members presented talks about two of the more interesting moons of our Solar System.
In April, Steve Childers introduced us to Jupiter’s moon Europa. In June, Ralph James brought us up to date on Saturn’s moon Titan.
If you’d like to learn more about these Icy moons, Steve and Ralph provided some useful references.
