An illustration showing the moon Ganymede orbiting Jupiter . Hubble Space Telescope has detected auroras on the moon, which may have been caused by a liquid ocean under the ice.

More water than in Earth's oceans combined . The researchers believe is hiding under the Jupiter moon's surface. Now, the space telescope " Hubble " found the best evidence yet that water really is there

Ganymede is the largest moon of the solar system , larger than the planet Mercury , and unlike all the other moons of its own magnetic field . This can bid on crackling auroras that also influenced by the planet Jupiter one million kilometers away. And that's movements in the polar lights with scientists to understand what is under the surface.

There is a researcher at the University of Cologne as using space telescope " Hubble " has been able to see how the polar lights moving in a way that can not be explained if the moon were homogeneous with no major body of water .


Now captures the hidden Ocean up magnetic field of Jupiter and creates a magnetic field in the water column , which affects the polar lights and get it to move much more slowly than it should. The water of Jupiter 's magnetic field created brakes Ganymede own.

The German researchers believe the giant saltvattensoceanen is 100 km depth, which is ten times more than the earth 's depths. But the ocean is not visible from Earth when it is 150 kilometers beneath the icy and rocky outer part of Ganymede , the researchers write in the Hubble website.


What may be found in this huge mass of water , scientists still have not a clue . But curiosity is great and the European Space Agency is planning an expedition to Ganymede and two other large Jupiter moons, Europa and Callisto , launchers 2022. But the road to the Jupiter system is long and the probe is not expected to be able to go into orbit around the giant moon until 2033rd.

This is awesome i like this, they posted it 3 days ago sorry if there is not spelling right in english took it from Translate
