Nasa's Juno mission has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by creating the first complete 3D radiation map of the Jupiter system. This innovative map provides a detailed view of the high-energy ...

The first ever 3D radiation map of Jupiter and its moons has been created using low-light cameras aboard the Juno Spacecraft that have been tweaked to operate as radiation detectors.

A map of 266 hot spots on Io made using data from NASA's Juno probe, identified in data obtained from March 2017 to July 2022. The larger the symbol, the greater the 4.8 μm spectral radiance, a ...

Like Europa, Jupiter's jumbo moon Ganymede is thought to host an underground ocean. But its frozen shell is much thicker — possibly 100 miles thick — making it tougher to probe the environment ...

Over the last two decades, water vapor measurements in several Jupiter-family comets indicated deuterium levels similar to those found in Earth's water, suggesting a potential connection in water ...

The first global map of the largest moon in the solar system — Ganymede, one of Jupiter’s moons — shows a sharp contrast between older cratered areas and newer, lighter terrain. The map was published ...

Today, powerful impacts into Jupiter are a lot more rare, but they do occur. In 1994, one comet whacked into Jupiter with so much force that it left a visible debris field. Astronomers saw another ...
