After modeling Europa's conditions, the researchers concluded that its rocky seafloor is likely mechanically too strong to ...

Io orbits so close to Jupiter that gravity alone reshapes its entire surface. Instead of cooling over time, the moon is ...

New evidence suggests Europa’s seafloor may be a geologically dead wasteland, lacking the volcanic energy necessary to ...

The giant planet Jupiter has nearly 100 known moons, yet none have captured the interest and imagination of astronomers and ...

New data from the orbiter has unveiled some of the treacherous conditions of not only Jupiter, but its moon Io, the most volcanic body in the solar system. The findings, which come after Juno has ...

On Earth the aurora is intimately connected to solar activity. High speed electrons and protons from the sun find their way into the upper atmosphere by following invisible lines of magnetic force ...

A study published in Nature Communications suggests that Europa’s rocky seafloor is likely too mechanically strong to support ...

The hellish surface of a moon of Jupiter known as Io is riddled with hundreds of lava-spewing volcanoes that make the world one of chaos and violence. The brutal conditions also make Io intriguing to ...

New research suggests Jupiter’s moon Europa may lack seafloor activity needed for life, despite its vast subsurface ocean and ...

This first-ever complete map of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io released on March 19, 2012, was created using data and images from NASA's Galileo spacecraft, (which studied Jupiter and its moons between ...
