Hubble finds evidence of water vapour on Jupiter Moon
July 27, 2021 15:31 ISTThis water vapour forms when ice from the moon's surface sublimates -- that is, turns from solid to gas.

Europa Clipper will conduct a detailed survey of Europa and use a sophisticated suite of science instruments to investigate whether the icy moon has conditions suitable for life.
Is there an "earth-like" life on Jupiter and Venus? A groundbreaking finding of new research led by a Queen’s University Belfast scientist has made startling revelations surrounding this question.
The flyby will yield striking insights into the moon's composition, ionosphere, magnetosphere, and ice shell. Juno's measurements of the radiation environment near the moon will also benefit future missions to the Jovian system -- encompassing Jupiter, its rings and moons, NASA said.
A rare celestial treat awaits stargazers the world over as two of our solar system's largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, will look like double planets just after sunset on Monday evening i.e, December 21, the beginning of the winter solstice.
In a rare celestial event, Saturn and Jupiter – the two largest planets in our solar system – will be seen very close to each other in the night sky like one bright star by an astronomical event called the “great conjunction” on December 21.
This year's winter solstice will bring a rare sight to our night skies. In a rare celestial event, Jupiter and Saturn will be seen very close to each other appearing like one bright star in the sky on December 21.
Plumes of water vapour that may be venting into space from Jupiter's moon Europa could come from within the icy crust itself, according to new research.
Astronomers have for the first time observed direct effect of volcanic activity on the atmosphere of Jupiter's moon Io.
The new exoplanet mission of the European Space Agency (ESA), Cheops has found one of the hottest and most extreme extra-solar planets ever discovered.
Jupiter's moon Europa, Ganymede, Io, and Callisto are warming each other up, according to a recent study. Due to a process called tidal heating, gravitational tugs from Galilean moons and the planet stretch and squish the moons enough to warm them.
NASA's Juno spacecraft has captured the first infrared images of the north pole of Jupiter's Ganymede, which is the largest moon in the solar system. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory division’s official Twitter profile shared Ganymede's picture and it is gorgeous.
In the last few days the earth has witnessed 2 lunar eclipses (June 5 and July 5) and 1 historic solar eclipse on June 21. But there is more to look forward to if you are one of those people who loves gazing at the sky. In the next few days, out felow planets Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and later even Mars will be visible in the Sky.
The Lunar Eclipse on the US Independence Day was preceded by a rare Jupiter-Saturn anomaly that takes place only once every 20 years. When people looked up at the sky from the Western Hemisphere, along with the full moon, they saw two prominent members of our solar system -- Jupiter and Saturn.
The full moon on July 4 and 5 will be enhanced by two shining planets, Jupiter and Saturn. According to Native American traditions, this full moon is termed as Buck Moon or the Thunder Moon.
A picture of Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is going viral on social media. Beware, it might leave you craving for a masala dosa!
For the first time, scientists have directly measured wind speed on a brown dwarf, an object larger than Jupiter (the largest planet in our solar system) but not quite massive enough to become a star.
NASA scientists have recently discovered that Jupiters contain water in its atmosphere, albeit in a fractional amount. According to a statement on NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's website, nearly 0.25 percent of Jupiter's atmosphere comprises of water, especially around the equatorial regions.
Water makes up about 0.25 per cent of the molecules in Jupiter's atmosphere along its equator -- almost three times that of the Sun, according to a study based on data from NASA's Juno mission launched in 2011.
A study has found that the largest planet in our solar system - Jupiter - is slingshooting objectes into the inner solar system that could impact the Earth. It was earlier believed that Jupiter protects Earth from asteroids but new theory has suggested that it may be doing more harm.
