Previous ultraviolet investigations of Europa conducted in 2012 by the Hubble Space Telescope suggested the presence of water ejecta plumes, but definitive evidence for such characteristics at ...

NASA scientists say images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2014 suggest there may be water vapor plumes erupting off the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa. WSJ's Monika Auger reports.

This artist's impression shows Jupiter and its moon Europa using actual Jupiter ... images showing the faint emission from the water vapour plumes have been superimposed, respecting the size ...

Though Europa is only the size of our own moon, it holds more water than all of Earth's oceans ... pieces of the crust slide under each other. Plumes and deep fissures may provide other routes ...

NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft has sent back its first starry image, a significant milestone as it makes its way toward Jupiter’s moon Europa. The image, released by NASA this week, is a mosaic of a ...

Follow the water and the oxygen. Just two of the key tenets of humanity’s early and ongoing exploration drives within our solar system. That research has received huge boons in the last two ...

Since the Cassini mission got a close-up look at these plumes, scientists have been aching to send a robotic mission there to sample them—which appear to have all the ingredients for life in them.

Europa, Jupiter’s enigmatic moon, may hide a vast, icy ocean with double the water of Earth. First hinted at by NASA’s Galileo mission, this subsurface ocean holds tantalizing potential for life.

It will search for thermal activity and plumes of water that might eject from Europa's subsurface ocean. Europa Clipper will take over five years to reach Jupiter, conducting multiple flybys of ...
