Position for the simulation time
Europa's position is computed for the simulation instant by astronomy-engine, an analytic ephemeris model. There is no snapshot to age: the same code gives the same answer for any date.
Jupiter's second Galilean moon. Has a subsurface ocean that may harbor life.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.

Europa: mean radius 1,560.8 km. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
Grayscale spacecraft imagery of the ice shell, with differing resolution and small coverage gaps. The ocean is inferred, not visible.
The short description and the fact list are written by the Space Time authors for orientation. They are not quoted from a catalog field and carry no citation of their own.
