NASA’s Juno mission sheds new light on Jupiter moon Europa’s oxygen production rate

[ad_1] NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter has revealed intriguing insights into the rate of oxygen production on Europa, one of the gas giant's moons. Published in Nature Astronomy on March 4, the study indicates that the rate of oxygen production at Europa is considerably lower than previously thought. Utilizing data collected by Juno's Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment (JADE) instrument, scientists estimated the production rate to be around 26 pounds (12 kilograms) per second, challenging earlier estimates ranging from a few pounds to over 2,000 pounds per second.Europa, with its potential subsurface ocean beneath its icy crust, has long fascinated researchers for its potential to harbor life-supporting conditions. The moon's location within Jupiter's radiation belts is crucial, as ...

NASA’s Juno snaps mesmerizing pictures of ‘The King of Planets ‘

[ad_1] Jupiter is gargantuan planet, often referred to as a failed star and its images are always grand and imposing. And yet, it always manages to surprise with its hues and that is what has just happened. Mesmerizing images of Jupiter were captured recently on 23rd June by NASA's Juno spacecraft, according to a report by Forbes. Everything about the planet is big. In fact there is a storm blowing on it, which is known as Jupiter's Red Spot and it can swallow as many as three Earths. And at 69,911 km, Jupiter is some 11 times wider than Earth.The NASA spacecraft Juno, too is special and holds the record for being the farthest solar-powered spacecraft from Earth. It was on its 52nd perijove, a close flyby of the planet, when it took the photo. After it transmitted the raw data, scientis...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft snaps mysterious green lightning bolt on Jupiter!

[ad_1] The mysteries of space can be fascinating beyond imagination. In just one year, the stunning photos taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have convinced us of that. But now, other NASA spacecraft are also jumping into the action. Recently, the NASA Juno spacecraft, which is orbiting Jupiter, captured a mysterious image where a green orb can be seen deep within the planet. Aliens sending signals? Not exactly. In fact, NASA has revealed that what was captured in the image is the glow from a bolt of lightning on Jupiter.Explaining the phenomenon, a NASA blog post stated, “In this view of a vortex near Jupiter's north pole, NASA's Juno mission observed the glow from a bolt of lightning. On Earth, lightning bolts originate from water clouds, and happen most frequently near the eq...

Highway to hell? Just check out Jupiter moon Europa photo taken by Juno camera

[ad_1] NASA’s Juno mission has shared a stunning image of the terrifying surface of Jupiter’s Moon Europa. NASA has shared a stunningly close and high-resolution photo of Jupiter's moon Europa, all thanks to the Juno mission, which is centred around the largest planet in our solar system. The image reveals a detailed view of a puzzling region of the moon's heavily fractured icy crust. NASA explains that the highest ever resolution image of Jupiter's Moon so far covers about 93 miles (150 kilometres) by 125 miles (200 kilometres) of Europa's surface, revealing a region crisscrossed with a network of fine grooves and double ridges- something of a highway to hell, considering that the moon is constantly blasted by radiation from Jupiter. NASA says, "Juno's Stellar Reference Unit (SRU) – ...

Juno Mission to make a close approach to Jupiter’s moon

[ad_1] The Juno probe is heading towards Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, which reportedly has more water than Earth. Here's what scientists say. ater is the life-force behind every living being on the planet. Without water, there is no life. But what happens one day when this limited resource runs out? Do we simply perish or do we find another planet which has this very important resource? All these questions seem just theoretical now but someday a situation might occur when there's no water on Earth. We're in luck as NASA's Juno probe is all set to conduct a close flyby of one of Jupiter's moons which has more water than Earth, according to scientists.The Juno Probe will reportedly make a very close approach with Europa, whi...
