Water vapor spewed from Jupiter's icy moon, Europa, according to research shown on the 12th of December. Hydrogen atoms, possibly having been water molecules, are shown in blue in the picture above. This could possibly mean the moon is life supporting, but in order for beings to exist on it, there would have to be water and heat under the kilometers thick ice. The Hubble Space telescope was able to detect ultraviolet radiation emitted by hydrogen and other atoms from Europa. NASA has proposed a $2 billion mission called the Europa Clipper, but a $230 million cut in planetary science funding this year and more proposed cuts for next year mean there’s no guarantee it will launch

This is astonishing and is a breakthrough in astronomical discovery. If only NASA had the money to support research like this.
