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 ... :-)
