This composite image shows suspected plumes of water vapor erupting at the 7 oclock position off the limb of Jupiters moon Europa. The plumes, photographed by NASAs Hubbles Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, were seen in silhouette as the moon passed in front of Jupiter. Hubbles ultraviolet sensitivity allowed for the features -- rising over 100 miles (160 kilometers) above Europas icy surface -- to be discerned. The water is believed to come from a subsurface ocean on Europa. The Hubble data were taken on January 26, 2014. The image of Europa, superimposed on the Hubble data, is assembled from data from the Galileo and Voyager missions.
