Jupiter's moons in fiction.

Ogden Nash wrote a widerruf once:

"Lines Written to Console Those Ladies Distressed by the Lines 'Men Never Make Passes' etc.

A girl who is bespectacled
Don’t even get her nectaled
But safety pins and bassinets
Await the girl who fascinets."

"Europa

Even while surrounded by ice,
there is buried water not frozen,

never freezing. Floating in the dark
brine, sealed off from humans,

microorganisms, mouths full of
saltwater cud. A scientist learns

this, hollers out, delighted. Rejoice:
even in the most inhospitable places,

life. Rejoice: for this means that
out on Jupiter's icy, smooth moon,

maybe microorganisms, too. It is
possible we could be less alone."
