Jupiter

US space scientists on Thursday unveiled the interplanetary probe NASA plans to send to one of Jupiter's icy moons as part of humanity's hunt for extra-terrestrial life.

As April unfolds, sky watchers and astronomy enthusiasts are in for a treat with a lineup of celestial events set to grace the night sky.

The NASA image displays the Great Red Spot in the center, encircled by spiraling tan, orange, and red slivers.

Jupiters icy moon Europa has long been thought of as one of the most habitable worlds in the Solar System. Now the Juno mission to Jupiter has directly sampled its atmosphere in detail for the first time.

Even though they may appear to be close to each other in the night sky tonight, Jupiter and the moon are actually hundreds of millions of kilometres apart.

NASA shared a close-up image of Jupiter's Moon Io, captured by Juno spacecraft. In the caption, NASA said Juno conducted a close flyby of Io on Saturday, during which it got to within 1,500 kilometres of the celestial body.

In its recent post, NASA shared a picture of Jupiter's moon Io. During its 57th flyby of the planet, NASA's Juno spacecraft came the closest to Jupiter's moon that any spacecraft has made in over 20 years.

The "Message in a Bottle" project involves engraving people's names on the Europa Clipper spacecraft.

NASA informed that the image was acquired at 50 degrees 5 minutes north latitude, at an altitude of 3,815 miles (6,140 kilometres).

The star has become prominent for its "fluctuating brightness". Several scientists have also raised concerns that it could explode soon.

There have been over 700,000 names submitted so far.

NASA said that the storm to the naked eye appears deeper in the UV image as high-altitude haze particles absorb light at these wavelengths.

A wide high-speed jet stream, measuring over 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) in breadth, is positioned above Jupiter's equator, situated beyond the primary cloud layers.

In the new detailed images from Juno, the moon appears tie-dyed with swirls of light, dark spots and molten-red patches.
