Sign Of Possible Extraterrestrial Life? NASA's Spots Likely Water Plumes On Jupiter's Moon Europa

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have captured what could possibly be water vapour plumes erupting from the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa.

This finding adds weight to other Hubble observations that suggest the icy moon erupts with high altitude water vapor plumes.

Geoff Yoder, acting associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington, has opined that Europa’s ocean is considered to be one of the most promising places that could potentially harbour life in the solar system.?

The water vapour plumes are roughly estimated to rise about 200 kilometers, which is presumed to rain material back down onto Europa’s surface. According to NASA estimates, Europa reportedly has a huge ocean which contains twice as much water as Earth’s oceans. However, there’s an extremely cold and hard ice layer of unknown thickness that’s protecting it.
