Hubble witnessed plumes of water vapor on which of Jupiter’s moons?
Europa is an ice-covered moon long suspected to have an ocean under the ice, but Hubble detected
actually episodic plumes of water vapor being ejected from between cracks in the ice of Europa.
That's very exciting, very unexpected. And that's something that we can glean by having
a telescope that can look at things in the solar system over time and see changes and
dynamics that gives us information that we would never get by just one single snapshot.
So because Hubble is above the Earth's atmosphere we can actually see details on
planets in our solar system and beyond that would be difficult or impossible to see from the ground.
