While Io, the most volcanically active moon in the solar system, appears completely dry and devoid of water ice, its neighbor ...

Io and its shadow cross Jupiter overnight tonight with only 20 minutes between them. Finding Jupiter is likely familiar by now, as the gas giant shines brightly in Gemini near the heads of the Twins.

Io orbits so close to Jupiter that gravity alone reshapes its entire surface. Instead of cooling over time, the moon is constantly heated from within, driving relentless volcanic activity. Some ...

The giant planet Jupiter has nearly 100 known moons, yet none have captured the interest and imagination of astronomers and space scientists quite like Europa, an ice-shrouded world that is thought to ...

WASHINGTON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Jupiter's moon Europa is on the short list of places in our solar system seen as promising in the search for life beyond Earth, with a large subsurface ocean thought to ...

Jupiter’s moon Europa is on the short list of places in our solar system seen as promising in the search for life beyond Earth, with ‌a large subsurface ocean thought to be hidden under an outer shell ...

Europa’s buried ocean has made it one of the most exciting places to search for life beyond Earth. However, new calculations suggest its seafloor may be calm, cold, and largely inactive, with little ...
