Jupiter

This illustration shows charged particles from Jupiter hitting the face of Europa, separating icy water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. The scientists believe that some of these newly formed oxygen gases can move into the moon's subsurface ocean, as the circled figure shows. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SWRI/PU

Will the moon Europa return? The Juno spacecraft discovered oxygen on Jupiter's moon

NASA's Juno spacecraft directly measured charged molecules of oxygen and hydrogen from the atmosphere of Europa, one of Jupiter's largest moons. According to a new study by scientists at SwRI and Princeton, these observations provided important constraints on the potential oxidation of its subsurface ocean

Jupiter (Webb NIRCam image): This image of Jupiter from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam (Near Infrared Camera) shows spectacular detail of the planet, which is impressive in infrared light. In this image, brightness indicates a high altitude . The many white "dots" and "marks" are likely very high-altitude cloud edges of condensed convection. The auroras, shown in red in this image, extend to higher altitudes over both the planet's north and south poles. In contrast, dark bands north The equatorial region has no cloud caps.

A team led by SwRI discovered intermittent evidence of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, giant swirling waves, at the boundary between Jupiter's magnetosphere and the solar wind that fills interplanetary space.

At the time of conjunction, both planets will be seen in the west direction, just after sunset over the southwestern horizon close to the setting sun. The next closest cluster - in March 2080 * And how does this relate to the way we discover planets outside the solar system?

For the past five years it has been circling Tzedek and transmitting to Israel a huge amount of photographs and information related to Tzedek. Since it has a large supply of fuel left, there are those who are thinking of extending its stay around Tedek. The intention is to study the large moons of the planet Io, Europa and Ganymede as well as the rings of Jupiter

Simulation of the lander. According to the proposal, the lander will be launched between 2024-2025 and will arrive several years after the arrival of the EMFM probe, which will make many flybys near Europe. It will be able to photograph it at a very high resolution to find safe but scientifically interesting landing sites, and roly noses like the one described in the simulation - near plumes of water coming out as geysers from the moon Atal past Hal, and it is estimated that, if they do exist in Europe, they originate in its sub-ice ocean.
