Mind-blowing Discovery! James Webb Finds Salt Water And Co2 On Jupiter’s Moon Europa
In this episode, we delve into the detection of carbon dioxide on the surface of Europa by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and its implications for the potential habitability of Europa’s ocean. We discuss how JWST utilized its advanced instruments to capture images and spectra of Europa’s surface, leading to the discovery of carbon dioxide concentrated in an area known as Chaos Terrain. We examine the source and distribution of this carbon dioxide and propose that it likely originated from Europa’s subsurface ocean, which holds significant potential as a habitat for life. Furthermore, we analyze the importance of this finding in understanding the chemistry and dynamics of Europa’s ocean and how it may shape future missions, such as NASA’s Europa Clipper. Additionally, we provide insights into witnessing JWST’s operations and highlight the remarkable features that set it apart from other space telescopes.
