Not done: Unclear why this section needs another citation when it already has three for one sentence. This is not meant to be a list of all research into the role of water. If you would like to write-up some article text about the role of water to be added to the section, please feel free to do so and make another edit request.

There appears to be an error in the second paragraph of the “icy moons” section, being that the font size is too small for no apparent reason. the article the text is lifted from doesn’t have the error, nor the entire copied text, so it’s likely not purposeful.
level-3 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
