We can use the colors of Europa’s surface to tell us about the chemical compounds that make up the surface — and subsurface — of the jovian moon. Even before the first spacecraft made a ...

Here’s how it works. An incredible, reprocessed picture of Jupiter's moon Europa shows the mysterious natural satellite's amazing colors as they have never been seen before. The original photos ...

NASA's Europa Clipper, en route to Jupiter’s moon Europa, captured infrared images of Mars during a gravity-assist flyby to ...

On its recent swing by Mars, NASA's Europa Clipper took the opportunity to capture infrared images of the Red Planet. The data will help mission scientists calibrate the spacecraft's thermal imaging ...

Salty water may escape to the surface along fractures, leaving telltale reddish colors on Europa's ground. And irregular chunks of ice have likely been created by relatively recent surface movement.

False-color image of Europa’s trailing northern hemisphere, where subduction zones are hypothesized to exist. (Caption and credit, NASA/JPL/University of Arizona) When Prockter and Kattenhorn ...

Jupiter showers its moon Europa with enough radiation to kill a human in just a few days. Europa must also contend with the massive planet’s powerful tidal forces. The moon literally creaks as ...

So, the best ever image of Europa’s surface packs some 20 feet into each pixel — and it’s not even in color. Europa’s fractured crust shows clear signs of a young surface — one that’s perhaps still ...
