Earth’s #oceans are no longer unique. They’re just strange.
They exist on our #planet’s sunlit surface, while the seas of the outer solar system are tucked beneath ice and bathed in darkness.
And these subterranean liquid oceans seem to be the rule for our solar system, not the exception.
In addition to #Europa and #Enceladus, other moons with ice-covered oceans almost certainly exist as well.

@mustapipa subsurface ocean sounds like a description of a dead glacier: the ice gets covered with very thick layers of dust, and due to the absence of snowfall, the ice does not cover the dust
