Professor Nicholas Makris (second from right, standing) holds an acoustic sensor that his lab is developing. His research group hopes the sensor will help scientists learn whether there is a liquid ocean under the ice of Jupiter's moon Europa. The group includes (left to right) Sunwoong Lee, Purnima Ratilal, Josh Wilson, Michele Zanolin and Yi-San Lai (both seated at table), and Aaron Thode
