The first picture NASA’s Juno spacecraft took as it flew by Jupiter’s ice-encrusted moon Europa has arrived on Earth. Revealing surface features in a region near the moon’s equator called Annwn Regio, the image was captured during the solar-powered spacecraft’s closest approach, on Thursday, Sept. 29, at 2:36 a.m. PDT (5:36 a.m. EDT), at a distance of about 219 miles (352 kilometers).
9 nov 2023 · Gravity data collected by NASA’s Juno mission indicates Jupiter’s atmospheric winds penetrate the planet in a cylindrical manner, parallel to its spin axis. A paper on the findings was recently published in the journal Nature Astronomy. The violent nature of Jupiter’s roiling atmosphere has long been a source of fascination for ...
The Gravity Science experiment will enable Juno to measure Jupiter’s gravitational field and reveal the planet’s internal structure. Juno will see how the material inside Jupiter churns and flows, helping to determine whether the planet harbors a dense core at its center. Investigation lead: William Folkner, JPL.
NASA's Mission Juno is exploring Jupiter, seeking to unlock secrets of the giant planet and our solar system.
28 ott 2021 · New findings from NASA’s Juno probe orbiting Jupiter provide a fuller picture of how the planet’s distinctive and colorful atmospheric features offer clues about the unseen processes below its clouds.
