Newly understood instrumentation readings returned in the 1990s from NASA’s Galileo spacecraft in orbit of Jupiter have revealed that the craft not only encountered but also flew through ejecta plumes from Europa’s subterranean ocean. The announcement this week was the culmination of years of work, study, and analysis, and paves the way for interesting discoveries for the upcoming Europa Clipper mission which already includes instruments to study such plumes.
