Did scientists in Texas find a lake on Europa, moon of Jupiter

the moon of Jupiter has a mantle of highly acidic ice, coated with corrosive and abrasive salts.Under the ice is a slush of concentrated sulphuric acid covering a volcanic core that resembles the moon Io.most hostile place in the solar system apart from the Suns interior.http://www.universetoday.......
Lakes of liquid methane were found on Titan, a moon of Saturn. Those lakes ar at a temperature of about minus one hundred and seventy degrees celsius:

Europa, the moon of Jupiter has a mantle of highly acidic ice, coated with corrosive and abrasive salts.
Under the ice is a slush of concentrated sulphuric acid covering a volcanic core that resembles the moon Io. It is probably the
most hostile place in the solar system apart from the Sun's interior.

An artist’s rendering of one of Europa's lakes. Scientists speculate many more exist throughout the shallow regions of the moon's icy shell.

Of all the geological mysteries of the solar system — and they are legion — perhaps none hold as much intrigue as huge piles of jumbled-up icebergs strewn across the cracked and mottled surface of Europa, Jupiter’s ice-locked moon.

A new theory explains these vast “chaos terrains” as the tips of subsurface lakes that well up and warm the surface. The existence of such lakes would thrill scientists seeking life beyond Earth, a group long drawn to Europa.

-
You may be thinking of Titan, a moon of Saturn. A space probe not too long ago sent back actual images of lakes. Only thing is, they were lakes of methane, not water.

-
Not yet, but there is a heat core and a layer of ice on Europa so that is a good theory.

That's old news... Yes, Europa has liquid water.
