Medicine & TechnologyResearchers have been figuring out decades of the energy crisis that’s taking place in Jupiter. They found that aurora is causing the problem.
NASA scientists analyzed new and archival data from Hubble Space Telescope and found that the auroral bands they found in Jupiter's icy moon Ganymede are water vapor in its atmosphere, contradicting previous assumptions.
Astronomy experts discovered a distant system that is comprised of planets resembling Saturn and Jupiter. Both of the planets are in their early formation stage, with one of them having a moon-forming disk.
SpaceX has just been awared a $178 million contract for NASA to use the Falcon Heavy Rocket to launch the Clipper and future rover to Jupiter's 6th moon, Europa.
SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket will be sending NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft to the icy moon of Jupiter instead of the original plan of sending it via the Space Launch System (SLS), saving NASA $2 billion.
A study showed that Jupiter's polar storms are here to stay. They remain constant as they do not disperse and hardly change over time, which makes them an easier system to study.
It is too dry and too acidic for microbial life to exist above the surface of Venus. But Jupiter has the right temperature and water activity to support life.
