Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has an icy moon called Europa. For long time, NASA researchers have suspected that Europa contains liquid water underneath its top layer of ice. Lately, NASA’s Hubble space telescope has captured some images of Europa showing the moon spouting a possible water vapor which went 200 kilometers (about 125 miles) above the surface from its south pole.
There are many satellites, spacecrafts and rockets in space that are observing planets and other things in space by orbiting around them. It is absolutely natural that any time malfunction may occur and it may not be possible to recover fully. However, Michael Najjar, a German photographer, has created an image showing there are many disused rockets and abandoned satellites orbiting Earth and these space debris has become a serious problem.
