ESA’s Juice probe to Jupiter’s moons has run into trouble as one of its primary science instruments failed to deploy last week, perhaps due to a tiny pin. The 16-m (52-ft) Radar for Icy Moons Exploration (RIME) antenna has only extended a third of its … Continue reading ESA struggles with stuck antenna on JUICE probe en route to Jupiter
ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) deep-space probe is on its way to Jupiter and has sent back its first selfies. Captured by Juice monitoring camera 1 (JMC1) located on the front of the spacecraft, the new images show the Earth and Juice’s deplo… Continue reading Juice deep-space probe headed for Jupiter sends back selfies

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
The James Webb Telescope has provided another mesmerizing perspective of the universe, this time turning its near-infrared camera on a target much closer to home. The instrument’s imagery of Jupiter presents an awe-inspiring look at the gas giant, and … Continue reading James Webb’s dreamy view of Jupiter reveals “remarkable” new detail
Last week the James Webb Space Telescope made history with its first images, showing a galaxy cluster billions of light-years away, but now it’s turned its sights on something much closer to home. NASA has released infrared images Webb snapped of Jupit… Continue reading James Webb Telescope turns its infrared eyes on Jupiter
