The Hubble Telescope first detected water vapor on Jupiter's moon Ganymede

Evidence of the first water vapor was found in the atmosphere of the Moon's Jupiter genome


Over the years, astronomers have discovered many secrets hidden in the depths of space. In many ways, there are many innovations that will surprise the whole world. And when it comes to discoveries, the first goal of scientists is to find out if there is life anywhere on Earth. And if water is life, then scientists have long sought the existence of water and life on other planets or satellites. This time, astronomers have found evidence of the first water vapor in the atmosphere of Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system.



I want to tell you, Jupiter's satellite Ganymede is the largest satellite of any planet in the solar system. It is the ninth largest object in the solar system. Since Earth's satellite is on the moon, Ganymede is called Jupiter's moon or the largest moon in the solar system because it is Jupiter's satellite. With a diameter of 5,226 km, it is 2% more than mercury. For such a large amount, scientists believe that Ganymede can carry more water than all the oceans on Earth. However, it is difficult to get water in liquid form here.



According to the European Space Agency (ESA), the entire surface of the Ganymede is covered with ice and ice, and the sea is 100 miles (1,180 km) above the thick layer of ice. So, in order to find life here, scientists first considered it necessary to detect the presence of water. In this case, the European Space Agency said that it is important to identify liquid water to see if there are other ways to qualify for water. And over the past two decades, astronomers have analyzed data about the Hubble Telescope's archives in order to obtain an analysis.



The latest study was based on data sets from 1998, when Hubble took the first ultraviolet (UV) image of Ganymede. Scientists later discovered that the surface temperature of Ganymede varies greatly throughout the day. In the afternoon, when the temperature rises significantly, the ice surface releases a small amount of water molecules. Since the surface of the genome is miles and miles away, water vapor is less likely to come out of the oceans. In this context, senior researcher Lorenz Roth says that O2 (molecular oxygen) has only been seen initially. It is formed when charged particles damage the surface of ice.
