- huge plume of a volcanic eruption arising 270 km
- 原来是木卫一表面火山喷发
- over the surface of lo and raining back down onto it.
- 造成的270公里高的烟流
- So I had discovered the first ever
- 所以我是第一个在地球以外的地方
- volcanic eruption ever seen on another world besides the earth.
- 看到火山喷发的人
- Io's vibrant volcanic activity is caused
- 来自木星的巨大引力
- by the massive gravitational pull exerted by Jupiter,
- 挤压木卫一，并将它从内部加热
- which squeezes and heats the moon internally.
- 导致木卫一上的火山活动，特别活络
- You could actually see by the edge of lo plumes of
- 观察木卫一的边缘会发现
- what turned out to be sulphur dioxide gas shooting up
- 大量由二氧化硫组成的烟流
- into space about 100 miles and dropping all this sulphur dioxide
- 喷至一百里的高空
- snow back on the surface and the whole place is stained red
- 并像雪花般地落回木卫一的表面
- and yellow with sulphur.
- 整个木卫一被硫磺染得红黄相间
- It's an incredible place.

- And lo was just the beginning.
- 而且木卫一只是开始
- Soon another of Jupiter's moons Europa was also wowing scientists.
- 不久之后，木星的另一颗卫星：木卫二也让科学家大为惊艳
- Europa's surface had no craters.
- 木卫二的表面没有陨石坑
- Close up it was covered in cracks and canyons.
- 仔看之下会发现其上布满了裂隙与峡谷
- Europaclearly had a very young surface.
- 木卫二的表面显然非常年轻
- We could tell that there weren't many large impact craters
- 看得出来它并没有很多大型撞击圆坑
- and the surface was relatively smooth and, and cracked.
- 表面相对而言十分平滑，上面有裂隙
- Not chasms going deep down into it

- A recently active surface.
- 其表面近期内曾有过地质活动
- Looking at it scientists realised it was similar
- 科学家发现木卫二的表面看来十分眼熟
- to scenes they knew from earth from the poles.
- 因为它跟地球的两极很像
- Europa was covered in ice.
- 木卫二曾被冰层复盖
- And because there were no craters they knew
- 因为表面没有坑洞
- that the ice must have melted and refrozen many times.

- And that could mean only one thing:
- 这只有一个意义
- There had to be liquid water
- 木卫二上曾经存在
- the crucial ingredient for life on Europa.
- 生命的关键元素，也就是水
- It got even more exciting when scientists began to speculate

- Again the answer lay within our own planet.
- 情况就更令人兴奋了
- On the floors of the oceans of the earth,
- 这个问题的答案也存在地球上
- scientists had discovered "black smokers";

- volcanic heat sources coming from below the earth's crust,
- 也就是来自地壳下方的火山热源
- warming the water from below.
- 由下方加热海水
- Perhaps hot vents like these could exist under Europa's icy crust.
- 也许木卫二的冰层下方也有像这样的热源
- Scientists could barely contain their excitement
- 科学家兴奋得无法自持
- liquid water and a volcanic heat source sounded like
- 对许多人来说，液态水和火山热源
- the kind of conditions that many believe gave birth to life on earth.
