Up to this point, white holes have only existed in a sort of yin-yang, physics law, theory world and, of course, in the hearts of many a fellow nerd out there in cyber-space. Well, look-out universe, sometimes nerds can be right! [A lot of the times we're right but only sometimes are we given any credit.]
Jupiter is responsible for protecting Earth, and Mars, and tiny little Mercury (etc) from numerous objects that we really don't want hitting our atmosphere, oceans, land ... but it turns out that Jupiter may have also prevented Mars from getting bigger. Well, I say, you take the good with the bad.
And because I just couldn't resist, here's a pretty picture or two (just follow the link for more pictures) of Europa and a couple of other of Jupiter's moons. The post reports that ESA and NASA are currently planning a trip to Jupiter. And while I would argue that anything has been decided (thank you, economy and short-sighted budget planners), I applaud the optimism.
Thank you and have a good night,
