Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble
Space Telescope

2
00:00:02.803 --> 00:00:06.907
have directly imaged what may be
plumes of water vapor

3
00:00:06.907 --> 00:00:09.877
on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa.

4
00:00:09.877 --> 00:00:14.414
Europa likely harbors a global
ocean of water beneath its
surface of ice.

5
00:00:14.414 --> 00:00:19.019
The existence of water vapor
plumes could provide an early
glimpse into the ocean’s conditions.

6
00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:22.522
Over ten observations,

7
00:00:22.522 --> 00:00:26.326
the team saw possible plumes on
three images.
