New Watery Discoveries on Enceladus and Europa!

The video discusses the search for life-supporting conditions in the solar system, focusing on Saturn's moon Enceladus and Jupiter's moon Europa. Cassini's mission revealed water plumes on Enceladus, containing hydrogen and other molecules, suggesting potential for life. Europa also shows signs of water plumes, observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. Future missions like the James Webb Space Telescope and Europa Clipper aim to further explore these moons.

What significant discovery did the Cassini spacecraft make on Enceladus?

• Volcanic activity on the surface

• Water plumes containing hydrogen and other molecules

• Presence of liquid water lakes

• Atmospheric storms

What is the main reason scientists are interested in Europa?

• Its proximity to the Sun

• Its potential for hosting life due to a subsurface ocean

• Its thick atmosphere

• Its volcanic activity

What challenge is associated with observing Europa's water plumes?

• Europa's atmosphere distorts the view

• The Hubble Space Telescope was not designed for such observations

• The plumes are too small to detect

• The plumes are only visible during solar eclipses

Which upcoming mission is expected to provide a closer look at Europa?

• Voyager 3 Mission

• Europa Clipper Mission

• Mars Rover Mission

• Titan Explorer Mission

What new technology will the James Webb Space Telescope bring to the study of Europa?

• A high-resolution radar

• An infrared camera

• A deep-space communication system

• A powerful ultraviolet camera
