The role of disruptive impacts on ocean generation and longevity in icy moons: #Moons Gain or Lose Their Ability to Sustain Life: https://www.astro.umd.edu/news-events/news/marc-neveu-simulates-icy-moon-cosmic-crashes-frozen-oceans - a study found that catastrophic collisions between icy moons barely disturb the hidden oceans beneath their frozen surfaces, offering new insights into life beyond Earth.
