Looking for an interplanetary vacation destination? Consider a visit to Europa, one of the Solar System’s most tantalizing moons. Ice-covered Europa follows an elliptical path in its 85 hour orbit around our ruling gas giant Jupiter. Heat generated from strong tidal flexing by Jupiter’s gravity keeps Europa’s salty subsurface ocean liquid all year round. That also means even in the absence of sunlight Europa has energy that could support simple life forms. Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to make reservations at restaurants on Europa, where you might enjoy a dish of the local extreme shrimp. But you can always choose another destination from Visions of the Future.

尋找星際度假熱點？考慮探訪歐羅巴（Europa），這是太陽系中最令人嚮往的衛星之一。冰封的歐羅巴沿著一條橢圓軌道繞著我們的主宰—氣體巨行星木星（Jupiter）運行，85小時就完成一圈。來自木星引力造成的強烈潮汐彎曲所產生的熱量使得歐羅巴的鹽水地下海洋全年保持液態。這也意味著，即使在缺乏陽光的情況下，歐羅巴仍然擁有能量來支持簡單的生命形式。不幸的是，目前尚不可能在歐羅巴的餐廳預訂座位，在那裡你可能會享用當地的極端蝦（extreme shrimp）佳餚。但你可以從《未來的願景（Visions of the Future）》中選擇其他目的地。
