Possibility Of Transporting Material From Ceres To NEO Region Via 8:3 MMR With Jupiter
In this work we investigate the possibility of transporting material to the NEO region via the 8:3 MMR with Jupiter, potentially even material released from the dwarf planet Ceres. By […]
Life Could Exist In The Clouds Of Jupiter But Not Venus
Jupiter’s clouds have water conditions that would allow Earth-like life to exist, but this isn’t possible in Venus’ clouds, according to the groundbreaking finding of new research led by a […]
Hubble Finds First Evidence of Water Vapor at Jupiter's Moon Ganymede
For the first time, astronomers have uncovered evidence of water vapor in the atmosphere of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. This water vapor forms when ice from the moon’s surface sublimates — […]
Jupiter's Moons Could Be Warming Each Other
Jupiter’s moons are hot. Well, hotter than they should be, for being so far from the Sun. In a process called tidal heating, gravitational tugs from Jupiter’s moons and the […]
Could the Migration of Jupiter have Accelerated the Atmospheric Evolution of Venus?
In the study of planetary habitability and terrestrial atmospheric evolution, the divergence of surface conditions for Venus and Earth remains an area of active research. Among the intrinsic and external […]
New Evidence Of Watery Plumes On Jupiter's Moon Europa
Jupiter’s moon Europa is a fascinating world. On its surface, the moon appears to be scratched and scored with reddish-brown scars, which rake across the surface in a crisscrossing pattern. […]
Quantifying the Influence of Jupiter on the Earth's Orbital Cycles
A wealth of Earth-sized exoplanets will be discovered in the coming years, proving a large pool of candidates from which the targets for the search for life beyond the Solar […]
Using Antarctica To Prepare For A Mission To Europa
Four bleary-eyed men wearing grease-smeared tan jackets or red parkas emerge from what first appears to be a leftover prop from a Mad Max film. Nine silver smokestacks tower above […]
JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) SALMON-2 Community Announcement
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) intends to release a Program Element Appendix (PEA) of the Stand Alone Missions of Opportunity Notice (SALMON-2), with a […]
