Juno's observations of H2 and O2 from the dissociation of Europa's icy surface infer an O2 production rate lower than previously thought. This finding suggests that the paths to habitability of Europa's internal ocean are narrower. Szalay et al.: nature.com/articles/s41550-0…

Research led by #PrincetonU's Jamey Szalay found that while Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, generates 1000 tons of oxygen everyday, the number is much less than scientists previously believed. cbsn.ws/3PbI2tX (via @CBSNews)

Guðmundur Stefánsson and a team including Professor Joshua Winn have discovered the first Neptune-mass planet known to orbit a very low mass star—a star barely massive enough to be considered to be a star. More info: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
