NASA’s Juno space probe has been circling Jupiter for the past 20 months, and it’s been transmitting scientific data back to Earth at a furious pace. Today, astronomers are releasing four new studies ...

Tremors on Earth have helped scientists probe the interior of the planet, and shakeups on icy moons could do the same. By simulating icequakes on Jupiter’s icy moons Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede, as ...

A study suggests that certain global patterns, if observed in Jupiter's near-surface magnetic and gravity fields, could help answer longstanding questions about the planet's interior. Planetary ...

Jupiter’s moon Europa has an icy crust covering a vast, global ocean, NASA reported on Tuesday (25 May). The rocky layer underneath may be hot enough to melt, leading to undersea volcanoes. New ...

"Tidal heating plays an important role in the heating and orbital evolution of celestial bodies," said Alex Hayes, professor of astronomy. "It provides the warmth necessary to form and sustain ...

Measurements returned by NASA's Galileo probe into Jupiter have provided dramatic new evidence about circulation processes within the planet's atmosphere and prompted scientists to propose radical new ...
