Star Shooting Intense Water Jets Into Space Spotted By Herschel Telescope

Quite a whacky one this, a very young star spitting out massive quantities of water.

Nice! Maybe that's where we got all our own water from? Formation of the sun, water bullets, yadda yadda yadda?

Does make you wonder how common an occurence something like this is, would seed water across a number of planets.

Wonder if they'll eventually send a probe into Europa. One of Jupiter's moons. Possible water ocean underneath surface.

Where there's water there's life they say

already on its way isnt it?

Alas no.

Europa (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The problem is (if you want to get to the water) melting through the ice while keeping in contact with earth and also:

Any mission to Europa would need to be protected from Jupiter’s high radiation environment.[15] Europa receives about 540 rem of radiation per day.

Besides New Horizons and the Dawn Mission nothing new is on it's way. As far as I know anyway.
