Scientists simulate cosmic impacts to study icy moons' potential for life

This research involves simulating cosmic collisions to understand how such events affect the ability of icy moons around Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune to sustain life. These moons are considered promising candidates for extraterrestrial life due to their subsurface oceans beneath thick icy shells. The study aims to clarify whether these impacts help or hinder the moons' habitability.
