New Discovery On Jupiter’s Moon Terrifies Scientists

Since the beginning of time, humans have been curious about things around them. In the quest of knowing about things around us, humans developed fantastic technologies.

With these, there were able to know more and more about things around them. With the advancement of technology, humans have been seeking knowledge about things beyond them and even things beyond those skies you see every day.

We’ll look at SpaceX & NASA’s terrifying new discovery on Jupiter’s moon that changes everything, which will make you wonder about things that exist up there and give you fantastic thoughts that will keep you awake at night.

Ensure you watch to the end!

Now, let’s get started! Humans have been exploring space since 1957 and it keeps getting better every day until now. Scientists have been trying to search space if they can find living things up there. Don’t worry, they won’t stumble upon Superman or Green Lanterns anytime soon.

This expedition takes us to Jupiter or should we say, the Jovian System. What is the Jovian System? The Jovian System is all about Jupiter, its rings and moons. Jupiter is a gas giant and it is the largest of the Gas Giants. Its atmosphere mostly consists of hydrogen and helium. It is 11 times larger than the Earth as it has an equatorial radius of about 44,000 miles compared to the Earth’s of just under 4,000 miles.

This planet was discovered by the Babylonians approximately 2,800 years ago. With a refracting telescope, Galileo Galilei discovered its moons in 1610. We all know that water is one of the most important things to survive. Water is life. The human body can’t survive for 5 days without water.

Humans can’t do most activities without water: agriculture, cooking, and so many others. Water is also a determining factor in biochemical reactions. One of the latest discoveries made by NASA is the presence of water.  Could this mean that NASA found a living thing? There is only one way to find out.

NASA reported that its Hubble space telescope – one of the legendary technologies used to view space found persistent water vapour over the atmosphere of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons. According to NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope observed some persistent water vapour over a large area of Europa’s atmosphere.

The surface of Europa is smooth and the solid ice crust looks like a cracked eggshell. Its interior consists of a global ocean with more water than found on earth and could possibly harbour life as we know it. That’s not all about Jupiter. Data from NASA’s Juno probe indicates that about 0.25% of the molecules in the atmosphere over Jupiter’s equator is composed of water. Let us save you the mathematics calculation and expression of that 0.25%. That 0.25% is based on a prevalence of water’s components, hydrogen and oxygen, three times more than at the sun.

Amazing! Why this data is amazing and shocking was that NASA’s Galileo data about Jupiter was different. After this latest discovery, scientists checked Galileo’s result and compared and they discovered something. What did they discover? They discovered that the result of Galileo’s was drier than that of Juno. Galileo’s results sent back data showing 10 times less water than scientists predicted, and more weirdly, the amount of water appeared to increase the deeper the spacecraft went into Jupiter’s atmosphere.

It happened that at the same time Galileo was plunging into Jupiter there was a ground- based infrared telescope that was able to measure water concentrations at Jupiter. This telescope showed that Galileo may have accidentally hit a dry spot during its probe. This could only mean one thing, water is not well-mixed deep in Jupiter’s atmosphere. This is also proven by Juno during its first eight flybys.

It revealed that there is a lack of atmospheric mixing on the planet and its surrounding systems. Juno principal investigator at the Southwest Research Institute, Scott Bolton, said in a statement, “just when we think we have things figured out, Jupiter reminds us how much we still have to learn”.

He added, “Juno’s surprise discovery that the atmosphere was not well mixed even well below the cloud tops is a puzzle that we are still trying to figure out. No one would have guessed that water might be so variable across the planet.” Working with the results of Galileo’s probe and that of Juno, scientists will be able to get more details about Jupiter, the Jovian System and the solar system. Jupiter is known to probably be the first planet to form. This indicates that Jupiter could have sucked up
