  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 JWST Produces First-Ever 3D Map of Distant Planet WASP-18b

  NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has created the first-ever 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet, revealing the extreme conditions on WASP-18b, an “ultra-hot Jupiter” located 400 light-years away. Using infrared eclipse mapping, scientists discovered a scorching hotspot over 2,700 °C where water molecules are breaking apart. This groundbreaki...

  NASA is Sending Europa Clipper to Search for Aliens Near Jupiter's Moon

  NASA is set to launch the Europa Clipper mission to explore Jupiter’s moon Europa in search of signs of life. The spacecraft will conduct a detailed investigation of the icy moon, where scientists suspect a liquid ocean exists beneath its frozen surface. Europa Clipper will analyse the moon’s surface, water plumes, and magnetic field to underst...

  First Findings Of NASA's Juno Mission To Unravel Jupiter Water Mystery

  NASA's Juno mission has provided its first science results on the amount of water in Jupiter's atmosphere. Published recently in the journal Nature Astronomy, the Juno results estimate that at the equator, water makes up about 0.25 per cent of the molecules in Jupiter's atmosphere - almost three times that of the Sun.

  Before Exploring Other Planets, Submarine Will Dive To Earth's Seafloor

  NASA is set to send a submarine to the seafloor near Hawaii on August 20 in an effort to find an environment analogous to water worlds like Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus, a media report said today. Taking a closer look at the Earth's seafloor might help the space agency to send a submarine to the outer solar system to explore th...
