Water vapor of Europa

[Lariliss]

‘This detection paves the way for further exploration of Europa.’
Europa’s Hubble Space Telescope observations reveal persistent water vapor. Observations from 1999 to 2015 show that the whole lunar hemisphere is constantly covered with vapor. These observations are different from 2013 (local geysers eruptions). This is a new process of sunlight sublimating the ice on the surface and transferring it directly to the gas. Changing the colour composite and brightness.
