Centre Of Jupiter

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and has a mass that is 2.5x more than all the other planets put together. Scientists have finally managed to determine where this metal in Jupiter originated from – other terrestrial planets that Jupiter consumed before they managed to fully form. 

NASA has finished making the body of Europa Clipper spacecraft and delivered to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California. It is at this centre where a team of engineers and technicians will finish the assembling of the rest of the mission over the next two years. The assembling will be done by hand and then tested to see whether o...

In one of its most ambitious projects in deep space, a team of NASA researchers are proposing to send robots at the centre of icy moons to explore the subsurface ocean for presence of life.

Tides flowing in a subsurface ocean of molten rock, or magma, could explain why Jupiter's moon Io appears to have its volcanoes in the 'wrong' place and could also have implications for the search for alien life, a NASA study has found.

In what could lead to better understanding of how giant planets form, researchers have experimentally recreated the conditions that exist deep inside giant planets, such as Jupiter, Uranus and many other planets recently discovered outside the solar system.
