A new study reanalyzing 14 years of Hubble data weakens evidence for water vapor plumes on Europa, though scientists say the ...
Europa, a moon of Jupiter, appears as a thick crescent in this enhanced-color image from NASA’s Galileo spacecraft, which has been orbiting Jupiter since 1995. The view combines images taken in violet ...
Europa’s faint glow in ultraviolet light once looked like a possible water plume punching through ice. After 14 years of ...
Europa, the enigmatic moon of Jupiter, is believed to be home to a subsurface ocean of liquid water. However, future missions to explore Europa’s ocean may need to dig deep. Research suggests that ...

Europa's icy surface is changing fast, hinting at ocean below, says new NASA-backed study
A new study combining data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and laboratory experiments led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) suggests that the icy surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa is ...
Europa and Enceladus, icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn respectively, have evidence of oceans beneath their crusts. A NASA experiment suggests -- if these oceans support life -- signatures of that life ...

Water vapor plumes on Europa? New study questions earlier evidence gleaned from Hubble data
Reanalysis of 14 years of Hubble data has weakened evidence of Europa’s hypothesized water plumes.
The National Academy of Sciences identified Jupiter as a critical region of our solar system to search for life’s origins and to understand planetary evolution [NRC03]. The proposed Jupiter Icy Moons ...
