NASA Juno Mission Uncovers Subtle Geometric Shifts That Challenge Existing Models of the Jovian Interior
Scientists have refined Jupiter’s size and shape using modern radio signal observations, finding the giant planet slightly smaller and more flattened than earlier estimates. Though the difference is only a few kilometres, researchers say it greatly improves models of Jupiter’s interior, gravity, and atmospheric structure, offering deeper insigh...

NASA Finds Ammonia Compounds On The Surface Of Jupiter's Moon Europa
NASA's Galileo mission launched in 1989 and was operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.

NASA Finds a Crucial Life-Building Chemical on Jupiter’s Moon
Scientists studying archival Galileo spacecraft data have identified ammonia-bearing compounds on Europa for the first time. The ammonia appears along surface cracks, indicating recent transport from the moon’s subsurface ocean. Because ammonia contains nitrogen and degrades quickly under radiation, its presence strengthens Europa’s status as a...

Spider-Like Scar on Jupiter’s Moon Europa Could Indicate Subsurface Salty Water
A spider-like scar on Jupiter’s moon Europa may indicate briny water beneath its icy crust. Researchers suggest impact-driven flows of salty liquid created starburst patterns resembling Earth’s lake stars. Future observations by NASA’s Europa Clipper mission could confirm these features, offering new insights into Europa’s subsurface oceans...

NASA’s Juno Probe Faces Silence as Mission Ends Amid Government Shutdown
NASA’s Juno probe, orbiting Jupiter since 2016, may have stopped operating after its latest extension expired during the U.S. government shutdown. The mission, which unveiled Jupiter’s interior, polar storms, and moons, awaits confirmation—though NASA cannot verify its status until funding and communications resume.

NASA's Juno Probe Unlocked Mysteries Of Jupiter, But It May Already Be Dead
The mission was extended until September 2025, allowing for additional orbits and flybys of Jupiter's moons like Ganymede, Europa and Io.

Mars and Jupiter Probes Set to Monitor Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS During Its Sun Approach This Month
The European Space Agency (ESA) is keeping a close eye on the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS on its journey through the solar system. A spacecraft, specially designed for the Jupiter and Mars missions, will monitor the interstellar comet. Notably, this is the third known interstellar object that has marked its way through the solar system and is conti...

NASA Confirms Discovery of 6,000 Exoplanets Beyond Our Solar System
NASA has confirmed 6,000 exoplanets beyond our solar system, highlighting three decades of accelerating discovery. From scorching hot Jupiters to worlds with jewel-like clouds, the catalog reflects cosmic diversity. Future missions aim to identify true Earth analogs and investigate signs of life across distant planetary systems.
