Jupiter's moon Europa produces enough oxygen to keep a million humans breathing for a day

Europa is becoming more interesting ahead of NASA's robotic mission to Jupiter's fourth-largest moon beginning later this year.

Scientists with NASA's Juno mission currently orbiting Jupiter have determined that Europa is producing much more oxygen than some previous estimates. According to the study, published Monday in Nature Astronomy, the oxygen coming off the moon's surface is about 1,000 tons every 24 hours, enough to keep a million humans breathing for a day........
Launching in October, NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will search for signs of potential habitability on the icy moon using a suite of science instruments, including looking for oxygen production.

So, I don't want anyone else there but me, and I can breathe for a million days. Yay!

At -260F, folks won't need to worry too much about breathing.
