Jupiter moon may have giant geysers of water

The Hubble Space Telescope has spied what appear to be water plumes on one of Jupiter's icy moons shooting up as high as 200 kilometers.

The geysers are apparently from an underground ocean that is thought to exist on Europa, considered one of the top places to search for signs of life in our solar system.

The plumes at the south pole were detected by the workhorse telescope as the moon passed in front of Jupiter. Scientists believe the eruptions on Europa are sporadic since they were only able to spot them on three out of the 10 times that they looked over more than a year.
