Hubble witnessed plumes of water vapor on which of Jupiter’s moons?

2
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:16.480
Europa is an ice-covered moon long suspected to 
have an ocean under the ice, but Hubble detected  

3
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:24.640
actually episodic plumes of water vapor being 
ejected from between cracks in the ice of Europa.

4
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:33.440
That's very exciting, very unexpected. And 
that's something that we can glean by having  

5
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:39.840
a telescope that can look at things in the 
solar system over time and see changes and  

6
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:49.520
dynamics that gives us information that we 
would never get by just one single snapshot.

7
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:55.280
So because Hubble is above the Earth's 
atmosphere we can actually see details on  

8
00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:04.126
planets in our solar system and beyond that would 
be difficult or impossible to see from the ground.
