Volcanoes, Oceans and Life in our Solar System: A Fiber-Optic Telescope to Inner Space

Find out how studying the ocean right off the coast of Washington could be a key in exploring the seas of Europa in search of extraterrestrial life -- life that scientists speculate could be like the microorganisms flourishing in the deepest regions of our own oceans.
