Data from NASA’s Juno Jupiter orbiter suggests that the Jovian moon Europa produces about 26 lb/s (12 kg/s) of oxygen or almost 100 times less than previously estimated This changes the probability of life being found in the moon’s subterranean ocean.C… Continue reading Juno probe tweaks the odds for life on Europa
NASA has released a high-resolution image taken by the Juno deep space probe during its close encounter with Jupiter’s moon Io on December 30, 2023. The image of the volcanic satellite not only shows remarkable details, but an usual kind of lighting.Co… Continue reading Stunning Juno flyby image shows Io lit up by “Jupitershine”
On December 30, 2023, NASA’s Juno deep space probe made the closest flyby of Jupiter’s moon Io in over two decades. The robotic spacecraft passed within 930 miles (1,500 km) of the volcanic satellite, returning closeup images of the south pole.Continue… Continue reading Juno completes its closest flyby of Jupiter’s fiery moon Io
In a close encounter of the Jovian kind, NASA’s Juno deep space probe has made its closest flyby yet of Jupiter’s volatile moon Io. During its 51st orbit of the giant planet, the solar-powered robotic spacecraft came within 22,600 miles (35,500 km) of … Continue reading Jupiter probe Juno has close encounter with fiery Io
In late September, NASA’s Juno probe swept by the Jovian moon Europa in the closest flyby for decades, capturing a slew of data that will help scientists untangle the mysteries of the frosty celestial body. A new image has now landed from this encounte… Continue reading Striking Juno closeup brings Europa’s icy crust into clear view
While NASA’s Juno spacecraft has captured some stunning imagery of Jupiter since entering orbit around the gas giant in 2016, it’s not the only celestial body in the probe’s sights. As part of its exploration of the Jovian system, Juno is also inspecti… Continue reading Juno captures icy cracks of Europa in closest flyby for decades
For centuries, the famously colorful and chaotic atmosphere of Jupiter has intrigued astronomers seeking to understand the secrets behind its swirling, stunning sheath of cloud cover. NASA’s pioneering Juno probe has continued to peel back this curtain… Continue reading NASA’s Juno probe delivers first 3D picture of Jupiter’s atmosphere
NASA’s Juno deep-space probe has sent back the first close-up images of Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, to be captured in two decades. Snapped during Juno’s flyby of the giant moon on June 7, the images were taken by the spacecraft’s JunoCam visible-… Continue reading Juno probe snaps first close-up images of Ganymede in over 20 years
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot may be stealing energy away from the smaller storms that careen into it on a regular basis, according to the results of a new study. While on the surface these dramatic interactions seem to be damaging the iconic atmospheric fe… Continue reading Smaller storms may be feeding Jupiter’s Great Red Spot
