A recent study published in Nature Astronomy examines how NASA’s Juno spacecraft identified the presence of mineral salts and organic compounds on Jupiter’s third Galilean moon, Ganymede, which ...

As the Solar System-wide quest to find the building blocks of life carries on, humanity's isolated a few places most likely to show us the clues we're looking for. More often than not, the public's ...

This enhanced image of the Jovian moon Ganymede was obtained by the JunoCam imager aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft during the mission's June 7, 2021, flyby of the icy moon on Juno's 34th pass close to ...

A mess of salt and organic chemicals splattered across the ice on Ganymede could be a hint that its hidden ocean contains the right stuff for life. NASA’s Juno mission recently revealed that the ...

On Dec. 28, 2000, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft discovered auroras on Ganymede, Jupiter’s largest moon. Galileo launched in 1989 on a mission to study Jupiter and its moons. It also flew by Venus and ...

NASA's Juno spacecraft zipped past Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, on Monday. Juno snapped an up-close portrait of the ice-encrusted moon for the first time in 20 years. NASA expects more Ganymede ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew closer to Jupiter’s moon Ganymede than any spacecraft in the last two decades, according to NASA. The moon is the largest in our solar system. (FILE-A screenshot from the ...

The ocean on Ganymede may have more water than all the water on Earth. In this artist’s concept, the moon Ganymede orbits the giant planet Jupiter. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope observed aurorae on ...

Two recent studies published in Icarus examine tectonic processes known as shear stresses which are also referred to as strike-slip faults on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, and Saturn’s largest moon, ...

The photo was captured as part of the Juno spacecraft's ongoing observations. In the image above, you can see the long shadow of Ganymede as it casts a Jupiter solar eclipse across the planet. NASA ...

In June 2021, NASA's Juno spacecraft flew close to Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, observing evidence of magnetic reconnection. A team has used Juno data to examine the electron and ion particles ...
