For 44 years, it was a mystery as to how Jupiter’s most violent moon, Io, became so volcanically active. It […] ...

Stars are born in stellar nurseries, molecular clouds of cold gas and dust. These clouds contain many times the mass of a ...

NASA's Juno mission has revealed that each of Io's volcanoes is likely fueled by its own magma chamber, not a global magma ocean. This conclusion was drawn from precise gravity measurements during ...

In recent years, Saturn has overtaken Jupiter as the planet with the most satellites in our solar system. How many moons does ...

A few thousand miles below the cloud tops, Jupiter’s hydrogen is so pressurized by Jupiter’s intense gravity that the planet ...

NASA’s Juno mission uncovers the true source of Io’s volcanic activity, revealing localized magma chambers instead of a ...

NASA scientists have revealed the secrets of the most volcanic body in our solar system, according to new research. The ...

Mercury is the least explored of the four rocky planets in the inner Solar System. It wasn’t until 2011 that NASA’s MESSENGER ...

Scientists with NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter have discovered that the volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io are each likely powered by their own chamber of roiling hot magma rather than an ocean of magma.

Researchers from the Juno mission have finally solved a mystery that has puzzled scientists for over four decades.

Observations made of Jupiter’s moon Io during the Juno mission’s flybys helped astronomers confirm how and why Io became the most volcanic world in the solar system.

The rings of Jupiter might not be as spectacular as Saturn’s (whose are?) but they are there. However, one of them may not ...
