Ho, ho!!! VERY interesting, Vexgizmo, thank you! So far in our experience, where there's a torus, there's a "fire"....
EDIT: Here's a thought. Enceladus blasts out through a few cracks near its south pole (okay, maybe I could have phrased that better... )...but Europa is cracked pretty much all over, with some concentration in the equatorial regions, it seems. Maybe we need to be looking for an overall 'haze' of outgassing instead of discrete plumes...in any case, we need some backlit imagery. Galileo apparently acquired some of this, but I'm not very good at retreiving things from thr NASA PDS...would be worth the effort of some of the imagesmiths here to take another look at this data! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
