The European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUICE probe, the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, recently treated us to a breathtaking view of Earth and the moon as it sailed past our planet on its ambitious journey to Jupiter. These high-resolution images, captured during a crucial flyby, are more than just a visual delight—they represent an important milestone in JUICE’s eight-year mission to explore Jupiter and its moons. A Strategic Flyby to Jupiter Launched in April 2023, the JUICE probe is on a
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery about Jupiter’s upper atmosphere using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. Previously considered a dull region, the area above Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot has now been shown to contain a wealth of previously unseen features and dynamic structures. Jupiter, one of the most brilliant objects in the night sky, is typically visible even to the naked eye. While the planet’s polar regions display stunning auroras, its upper atmosphere has remained elusive to ground-based
