it all started with water everywhere....


.....Let there be a vast expanse in the middle of the waters. Let the waters above part from the waters below.

So God parted the waters and formed this expanse, separating the waters above from the waters below. It happened just as God said. And God called the vast expanse “sky.” Evening gave way to morning. That was day two.

Let the waters below the heavens be collected into one place and congregate into one vast sea, so that dry land may appear.

It happened just as God said. God called the dry land “earth” and the waters congregated below “seas.” And God saw that His new creation was beautiful and good.

NEWSFLASH! Trump fans , Nasa announcement about Jupiter’s moon Europa won’t be to say that the moon has aliens, agency clarifies

"Major milestone in search for water on distant planets"

The company had announced that the Hubble Space Telescope had captured ‘surprising evidence of activity’ on Europa – which made many think that aliens might have been found

Nasa has poured cold, salty water on excitement that it could be about to announce it had found aliens ..

The agency has looked to calm speculation on social media and elsewhere that a press conference is is holding on Monday will be about the discovery of life on Europa .. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/nasa-to-hold-announcement-about-potentially-life-supporting-ocean-on-jupiter-s-moon-europa-a7320741.html , one of Jupiter’s moons.

Excitement kicked off when Nasa said that it would be holding a press conference about the fact that the Hubble Space Telescope had found “surprising evidence of activity” on Europa. Experts have suggested that Europa could be the best place in the solar system to find life – and so speculation immediately jumped to the fact that the activity was aliens.

That excitement flew around social media and eventually made it into the papers, some of which questioned whether Nasa was about to announce that it had found life on the moon.

Finally the space agency posted a tweet of its own that will come as a disappointment for anyone hoping to meet Europa’s aliens. It read: "Monday, we'll announce new findings from Jupiter's moon Europa. Spoiler alert: NOT aliens."

The discovery is more likely to relate to water vapour "plumes" that Hubble spotted high above the moon in 2012, but which have not been seen again.

If the plumes are shown to be linked to the moon's sub-surface ocean, it would make the job of investigating the habitable potential of Europa much easier. Instead of having to drill through the moon's thick, icy shell, scientists could analyse the chemical content of the plumes.

The 1,900-mile-wide moon is thought to hold two to three times as much water as all the Earth's oceans.

Europa's ocean is believed to be salty, and warmed by powerful tidal forces generated by Jupiter's gravity so that it remains unfrozen.
