Less oxygen on Europa's surface than previously thought

Microbes could survive in Europa's underground ocean without much oxygen [ more ]

NASA's Juno spacecraft flew over the southern hemisphere of Jupiter's moon Io, capturing images of volcanoes and lava lakes.

Io's constant volcanic activity is caused by the gravitational pull of Jupiter and its two other moons, which generate powerful tides and enough heat to power the moon's lava flows. [ more ]

The Juno spacecraft completed its second close flyby of Io, providing scientists with valuable data on the moon's volcanoes and potential magma ocean.

Juno's original mission was to explore Jupiter, but it has now expanded to include studying three of Jupiter's moons and its rings. [ more ]

Juno spacecraft performed close flyby of Jupiter's moon Io, capturing new images of its surface

Io is one of the most volcanic worlds in the Solar System with lava flows and volcanic plumes [ more ]

NASA spacecraft Juno made its closest flyby of Jupiter's moon Io and captured high-resolution images of its volcanically active landscape.

Studying Io's volcanoes can reveal the influence Jupiter has over its eruptions, providing clues about the formation of the gas giant and its moons. [ more ]

NASA released high-quality images of Jupiter's moon, Io, taken by the Juno spacecraft during a close flyby.

The images show a silhouetted, dusty red sphere with massive grayish volcanoes, prompting awe among astronomers and stargazers. [ more ]
