Apr 10, 2014Is Jupiter a friendly planet, Earth's enemy, or perhaps both? -
Feb 18, 2014Using images from NASA’s Voyager Mission (1979) and the orbital Galileo Mission (1995), researchers have created the first global geological map of Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede. -
Dec 3, 2013A new study explains why Jupiter's Giant Red Spot exists today, even though fluid dynamics suggest that it should have faded centuries ago. -
Aug 27, 2013New observations of Io have revealed a massive volcanic eruption on the Jovian moon. -
Apr 9, 2013A new study shows that volcanic activity on Jupiter's moon Io is not where models predicted it would be. The study provides new insight into the processes behind tidal heating. -
