Flying Past Europa’s Water Plumes

This artist’s impression shows the newly-discovered water vapor plumes on Jupiter’s moon Europa from a different perspective. It shows Jupiter and its moon Europa using actual Jupiter and Europa images in visible light. The Hubble ultraviolet images showing the faint emission from the water vapor plumes have been superimposed, respecting the size but not the brightness of the plumes.
