I'll continue to believe that this is bioluminescence.
How well does water shield radiation like this? For much of it (electrons, UV photons) a thin film on the surface could be enough protection. A layer of salty ice should be more than sufficient, I would think.
- jvanderbot 5y agoWater shields extremely well. I don't think we'll find living things on the surface, but the oceans are what is exciting, especially possibly hydrothermal vents, which have lots of life on Earth. A surface mission would be looking for signs of life, not life.
