Ganymede is Juice's primary target. During the first, Jupiter-orbiting phase of the mission, the ... [+] spacecraft will make 12 flybys of the mysterious moon.
Welcome to Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system. It's bigger than dwarf planet Pluto. It's even bigger than the planet Mercury.
Jupiter Juice mission: ESA sends spacecraft to find alien worlds in our solar system | The ...
The £14bn Juice mission was launched on an Ariane 5 spacecraft, the start of a 4.1 billion-mile journey to Jupiter and its moons that will take more than eight years.
Onboard are 10 scientific instruments. Scientists from Imperial College London have led the development of one instrument, known as the magnetometer.
Meet the Creators of NASA's Newest Eclipse Art – NASA Solar System Exploration
Art and science have been treated as separate disciplines but have more in common than is often realized. Creativity is critical to making scientific breakthroughs, and art is often an expression (or product) of scientific knowledge.
Eclipses are celestial events we can predict with extreme precision, and their occurrence reveals fundamental truths about our place in the universe. Yet, as many eclipse watchers will attest, there is no anticipating how you will feel when experiencing one.
Harness the power of solar sail spacecraft to reach far edges of our solar system
Nearly 400 years ago, astronomer Johannes Kepler postulated that the comet's tails were caused by a solar "breeze". NASA highlights that this intriguing observation prompted him to propose that "ships and sails proper for heavenly air should be fashioned" in order to travel through space.
Icy Moonquakes: Surface Shaking Could Trigger Landslides
NASA's Galileo spacecraft captured this image of the surface of Jupiter's moon Ganymede. On Earth, similar features form when tectonic faulting breaks the crust. Scientists modeled how fault activity could trigger landslides and make relatively smooth areas on the surfaces of icy moons.
