It's probably just a display at one of their water amusement parks.
Might even be some type of super ride for the indigenous population.

It has a lot of promise if there IS water, though. The ingredients're there for microbial life, and there's already talk of devising some method of bringing water samples back to earth to study it. There's a satellite which'll soon be ready to go up there again, but it won't be on a life-finding mission, so next they'll be concentrating on that.

Europe has an atmosphere, albeit a strange one. It consists of pure oxygen, which gives rise to water vapour.

LOL @ Gary! :grin:
