Scientists from Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology are examining links between what’s known as Earth’s “Lost City” of hydrothermal systems and oceans found across the solar system on moons orbiting Jupiter.
The team say they’ve found a new species of bacteria thriving in hot springs billowing from the Arctic and Antarctic seabeds, which can handle living by vents pumping out either oxygen or hydrogen.
Now, they’re investigating links with evidence from Nasa’s Cassini probe mission, which found similar hydrogen jets erupting from the south pole of one of Jupiter’s moons.
