https://www.sciencenews.org/article/europa-vents-water-hubble-data-suggest Europa is a cold moon of Jupiter, very cold (50 K or below where oxygen liquefies) ... but Europa vents "water" ... according to these reports ... well the moon vents something at its south pole under tidal stress, which then emits UV in the known Lyman spectrum of hydrogen, and a related lines of oxygen. This is consistent with water vapor being ionized in the vacuum of space by some force, and then emitting UV radiation in the well-known Lyman-a spectrum... or is it? The radiation appears as instantly ionized and there is no indication of the 183 GHz water line, but maybe they did not have the proper diagnostics for that on Hubble. Suspicious? Why they would not measure for this water line is the problem. It is curious, since that signal should be thousands of times stronger than the UV signal but perhaps there is nothing sinister here. But inquiring minds want to know why the instant ionization of water vapor coming from a frozen planet? And why the South pole asymmetry. Something does not sound right. More on the asymmetry later. The fact that the line which is seen has a wavelength of 122 nm indicates an effective temperature of the hydrogen of about 100,000 degrees K. Wow. Talk about "Fire from Ice". Hmm... evidence of cold fusion on Europa ?? You heard it first on vortex ... :-) Jones
