Teasing Out a Tiny Magnetic Field
Despite the higher-than-expected altitude, the Cassini magnetometer team still has high hopes for this flyby.

This is an interesting search. After finding a magnetic field on Europa, researchers concluded that there must be a salt water ocean under the skin of the moon, because Europa is 'too light' to have enough iron as magna to cause the observed magnetic moment.
The last time I went looking for a submerged saltwater ocean was when I was looking for the lost ten tribes of Isreal and Atlantis.
Bettcha Europa is magnetic because it has an Iron, possibly molten core.
