On March 8, 1979, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft discovered active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io. [‘On This Day in Space’ Video ...

Never-before-seen temperature and ion density measurements reveal that the effect of Jupiter's moons on its aurora are more complicated than scientists thought.

Using the Webb telescope, scientists discovered an unexpectedly cold, dense region within Io’s auroral footprint in Jupiter’s northern lights.

Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope show how Jupiter reacts to its moons through auroral footprints, plasma interactions, and rapid electron flows detected in infrared measurements.

An international team of scientists, led by a Ph.D. researcher from Northumbria University, has made further discoveries about a spectacular feature of Jupiter's northern lights, revealing a ...

North East researchers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to uncover unexpectedly complex behaviour in Jupiter’s ...

A moon can sit next door to another and still feel like a different world. Around Jupiter, that contrast shows up fast. Io looks scorched and bone-dry, yet it is the most volcanically active moon in ...

The findings suggest that the gas giant's atmosphere reacts instantly to activity involving its orbiting moons.

Jupiter’s icy moons may have been seeded with the chemical ingredients for life from the very beginning. An international ...

“Our findings suggest that Jupiter’s moons did not form as chemically pristine worlds,” Mousis said. “Instead, they may have accreted, or accumulated, a significant inventory of COMs at birth, ...
