A recent discovery has revealed the presence of waterfall on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons. NASA scientists used the Hubble Space Telescope to make this discovery, which could have significant implications for the search for extraterrestrial life.
Europe has always been considered one of the most promising places to find life forms outside the Earth. The presence of water increases this possibility, since water is an essential element for life as we know it. The discovery was made thanks to the observation of plumes of steam that emerge from Europa’s icy surface.
Scientists believe these plumes may have come from a underground ocean that lies beneath the moon’s icy crust. If confirmed, this ocean could contain more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined.
Water on a Moon of Jupiter: Next Steps in the Search
There NASA has already planned a mission, called Europe Clipperwhich will be launched in the coming years to study this moon more closely and collect detailed data on its plumes and the ocean beneath. This mission could provide further evidence of the possibility of life on Europa.
This discovery represents a significant step in our understanding of the solar system and the possibilities of finding life elsewhere in the universe.
