While discussions over climate change are raging on back on Earth, it may be that we are not the only planet in the solar system to experience this phenomenon. According to new readings from the Hubble and Keck telescopes, Jupiter may currently be in the midst of a very violent period of global warming, as evidenced ... |

On October 18, 1989, the Galileo Jupiter mission was launched aboard the space shuttle Atlantis from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), in Cape Canaveral, Florida, during STS-34. It was scheduled to arrive in the gas giant's orbit on December 7, 1995, but it had to follow a very complex path through the solar syste... |

Europa has been one of the favored targets in the solar system for experts looking for signs of life someplace else besides the Earth. Astronomers and astrobiologists have been drawn by the fact that the natural satellite features a smooth, craterless surface, an extended network of deep fractures, as well as a brigh... |

Named after a mythical Phoenician noblewoman, Jupiter's sixth moon, Europa, may be among the safest bets in the solar system, in terms of having the ability to sustain life as we know it, astronomers have recently announced. In the investigations, the experts determined that the massive ocean of liquid water tha... |

Jupiter's peculiar auroras have been a subject of fascination for astronomers for a long time, mostly because they change their patterns and brightness very quickly, much more so than their counterparts on Earth, for example. A thorough study of the events in the planet's magnetic lines, which dictate the s... |

After more than seven years of efforts poured into this initiative, experts can now finally boast the first geological map of Jupiter's moon Ganymede. This is only the third moon in the solar system to get such an “honor,” in addition to the Moon, and Jupiter's cratered Callisto. The detailed do... |

Between 1949 and 1961, the comet 147P/Kushida-Muramatsu was considered to be a moon of Jupiter. The large gas giant captured the celestial body in an irregular orbit around it, and its influence only became dim enough to let the comet escape after about 12 years of “captivity.” Dr. David Asher will presen... |

In our own solar system, assessing the differences between planets and stars is a fairly easy procedure. We look at the Sun, and then at Jupiter or Saturn (the largest planets), and the difference is immediately obvious. But things are not as simple in the Universe. Astronomers have discovered over the years exoplane... |

After centuries of wondering whether the winds on the distant gas giant Saturn move East or West, scientists and astronomers finally have their answer. It would appear that the atmosphere favors movements in both directions, a groundbreaking find that may help astronomers gain more insight into the properties of the ... |

On July 19th, while looking through his amateur telescope at Venus, astronomer Frank Melillo, from Holtsville, NY, caught sight of what appeared to be a bright spot on the surface of the planet. The bright phenomenon suddenly appeared in the atmospheric clouds, and its origin left scientists completely in the dark. E... |

The recent collision that scarred the face of Jupiter, and generated a cloud of debris comparable in size to a decent part of our planet, has again prompted astronomers to wonder what are the chances of our corner of the solar system being hit by a rogue object as well. The impact has reminded everyone that we are li... |

A certain point 580 million kilometers away is these days the rage in astronomical observations. A few days ago, an object impacted the planet Jupiter, as we reported. The event was first discovered by an Australian sky watcher, who telephoned NASA and told them about his observations. The impact, which left the plan... |

Auroras are, arguably, some of the most beautiful manifestations that can be seen on the night sky, if you live at high latitudes, near the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. Caused by high-energy particles slamming into the planet's magnetosphere, these phenomena originate on the surface of the Sun, where emissions ... |

For a long time, people have hypothesized on the way our planet is going to eventually end up. While the science is clear, stating that, most likely, the Sun will engulf us as it swells up at the end of its burning cycle, others believe that our planet may end at the “hands” of a comet. A new theory, howe... |

These four celestial bodies, Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, are also dubbed the Galilean Moons, in honor of the great Italian astronomer. Now, researchers have e... |
