Kiwi Girl Falls To Her Death At Melbourne Balcony

Chantelle Klasema (Instagram/chanty_nangdalene)A  New Zealand woman has died after jumping 10 meters from a balcony in Melbourne. Chantelle Klasema, a 29 year old from Hawkes bay was killed when she fell from the third floor of an apartment. A 35 year old man who also fell is in a stable condition in the hospital.

It's believed that the pair were partying when they slipped from the balcony. The bodies were found on Saturday morning. Ms Klasema's father, who lives in Thailand, said it was extremely strange that two people could fall from a balcony.

Police are not treating her death as suspicious, labelling it "misadventure" after a night of partying. Channel 7 reported the man overbalanced and reached out for support, accidentally dragging Ms Klasema over the railing with him.

Jupiter's Moon Spewing Water Jets

jupiterNew evidence has shown that Jupiter's icy moon Europa throws jets of water in to space. Scientists first reported the behavior in 2013 using the Hubble telescope but know have made a follow up sighting.

 It is significant because Europa is one of the most likely places to find microbial life beyond Earth because of its huge ocean of liquid water.


Scientists are also looking at the possibility of attempting to capture a sample of water and bring it back to Earth for more detailed biological analysis.
