In case you missed the mainstream, there were several articles about Water spewing forth from a moon of a big planet. As if a simple hydro geyser was shooting WATER off into Space.
You would not be mistaken to pull up your low eyebrow way UP when you read that the measurements and instruments for this discovery are Plasma(Ions) and Electric(magnetometer) based. There actually is No Water unless you spin your spectrometer a special way to avoid all the Plasma and Electric effects which you just measured.
This has been going on for years. I don't think anyone actually believes these press releases anymore. Very sad for the people who actually run the programs. Sending a satellite out into space is no small effort.
Io spurts Plasma (duh)
