Remote-sensing data will complement Juno spacecraft’s in situ observations. The Space Telescope Science Institute recently awarded Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) a large project to use…
The spinning, solar-powered spacecraft will take another look at the fiery Jovian moon on July 30. When NASA’s Juno mission flies by Jupiter’s fiery moon…
ESA’s Juice mission will explore Jupiter and its intriguing Galilean moons — Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto — to study their hidden oceans, magnetic fields, and…
Rutgers study shows new way dunes can form on varied celestial surfaces. Scientists have long pondered how Jupiter’s innermost moon, Io, has meandering ridges as…
NASA’s Juno mission captured this view of Jupiter’s southern hemisphere during the spacecraft’s 39th close flyby of the planet on January 12, 2022. Zooming in…
The Juno Waves instrument “listened” to the radio emissions from Jupiter’s immense magnetic field to find their precise locations. By listening to the rain of…
New radio images from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) show for the first time the direct effect of volcanic activity on the atmosphere of Jupiter’s…
The gravitational push and pull by Jupiter’s moons could account for more warming than the gas giant Jupiter alone. Jupiter’s moons are hot. Well, hotter…
A rocky extrasolar moon (exomoon) with bubbling lava may orbit a planet 550 light-years away from us. This is suggested by an international team of…
Data collected by NASA’s Juno spacecraft using its Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument point to a new heat source close to the south pole…
NASA’s Juno Spacecraft captured this color-enhanced image of Jupiter and two of its largest moons – Io and Europa – during its eighth flyby of…
A newly published study examines the mystery of Io’s “misplaced” volcanoes, revealing that it has to do with the interaction between heat produced by fluid…
The Large Binocular Telescope provides the first detailed observations of a lava lake on Jupiter’s moon Io. With the first detailed observations of a lava…
Using Keck II telescope, the Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea, and the SpeX near-infrared spectrometer on NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility, astronomers viewed three massive…
Scientists at NASA and the European Space Agency believe volcanic activity on Io is located 30 to 60 degrees East from where they expected it…
By examining data from NASA’s Voyager and Galileo missions and incorporating infrared data obtained from telescopes on Earth, astronomers discovered that the heat pouring out…
This new map was published last Monday by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and it showcases the hellish surface of Jupiter’s moon Io, the…
