Europa Water Vapor Plumes - More Hubble Evidence

The video discusses the discovery of water vapor plumes on Jupiter's moon Europa, observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. These plumes are linked to warm regions on Europa's surface, suggesting geologic activity. The Galileo spacecraft's thermal map supports these findings. Comparisons are made with Saturn's moon Enceladus, which also has plumes. The upcoming Europa Clipper mission aims to study these phenomena further, providing insights into Europa's potential for harboring life.
