More tantalizing observations from the #JunoMission! In October, our spacecraft will set out to take an even closer look. Here's how we'll use our science instruments to study Europa from the inside out: go.nasa.gov/3QPipzY
15 May 2024
New high-def images of Europa support the theory of a salty liquid ocean bubbling up through the moon's ice crust. These #JunoMission views reveal signs of possible plume activity and polar ice crust migration. More on @EuropaClipper's future destination: go.nasa.gov/3V2b8PC

New paper led by @nickmwroberts and JDHM at @Caltech on how the trace element signature of crustal melts is not always a reliable indicator for depth of formation, and thus estimates of ancient crustal thickness... a cautionary tale!

#PPOD: Mimas drifts along in its orbit against the azure backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes in this true-color view. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute/CICLOPS
ALT The shadows of Saturn's rings on the hazy, blue surface of the gas giant dominate the entirety of this picture, spanning from almost white in the bottom left corner to the black of night in the top right corner. Tiny moon Mimas is seen in the bottom left against the Saturnian backdrop.
