While the moon once had a weak magnetic field generated by a small molten core, the team's research suggests it likely wouldn ...

The icy surface of Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, has captured scientists' attention. Compounds like carbon dioxide and salt ...

Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, hides a past very different from its current appearance. A recent study ...

reacts inductively to Jupiter’s (right) time-varying magnetic field. New research suggests that this reaction, and its results, are indicative of the moon hosting a subsurface salty ocean.

since the moon is within Jupiter’s magnetic field. To combat this, the spacecraft's electronics will be enclosed in a thick vault lined with aluminum and titanium aimed as a shield against ...

It's also the only moon planetary scientists know of with both an atmosphere and a magnetic field. It's also the only one of Jupiter's four large Galilean moons (the others being Europa ...

There have been proposed hypotheses as to how the Moon could have developed a core dynamo. For instance, a 2022 analysis ...

Jupiter's second-largest moon has more impact craters on its ... "That current will then create a secondary magnetic field (due to the movement of the electrons in the wire) which is called ...

The ice on the surface of Jupiter's massive moon Europa is constantly changing, hinting at the presence of a subsurface ocean ...

Io is an infamous world teeming with violent volcanoes spewing particles that can escape the moon's gravity and sneak into Jupiter's orbit. As Jupiter captures all of the charged particles, its ...

Scientists believe the moon's water, chemistry and energy ... The reason the environment is so challenging is that Jupiter is surrounded by a magnetic field that is 20,000 times stronger than ...
