NASA scientists reported a large amount of water vapor, Jupiter’s satellite rising above the surface of Europe. About it told the news publication Science Alert.
Researchers analyzed data from Hawaiian an observatory that made seventeen observations using spectrograph determining the chemical composition of large atmospheres space objects. It turned out that the exit to the surface of the water the pair does not occur constantly, but in the form of short but powerful emissions.
To date, astronomers have no evidence. the presence in Europe of liquid water, however emitted volumes of steam on the surface may well be enough to fill standard olympic pool.

In addition, according to preliminary estimates by researchers, in Europe, water contains 2-3 times more than The earth.
NASA is in full swing with mission preparation Europa Clipper, in which to Europe a research probe will carefully examine its surface. During missions, the probe will make 45 revolutions around the satellite of Jupiter, while apply the entire research arsenal, including spectrometers, cameras with filters and radars that scan a thick shell of ice cover.
Astronomers previously suggested that the planet Jupiter “takes on themselves “strokes of asteroids and comets flying” to visit us “because the limits of the solar system.
