Jupiter’s Moon Io Shows No Magma Ocean as New Findings Explain Volcanic Eruptions
NASA's latest findings indicate that Jupiter's volcanic moon Io does not have a global magma ocean beneath its surface, debunking previous theories. This conclusion comes from analysis of data from NASA's Juno spacecraft and archival observations from the Galileo mission. The study suggests that Io's interior is more solid than expected, with volca...

Cold Moon of 2024 Rises in Taurus, Accompanied by Jupiter and Bright Stars
The Cold Moon, the last full moon of 2024, will grace the skies on December 15, reaching its peak brightness at 4:01 a.m. EST. Positioned in the Taurus constellation, the moon will rise alongside Jupiter and some of the brightest stars, creating a visual treat for stargazers. Known culturally as the Long Nights Moon and the Moon Before Yule, it sym...

Asteroid Impact Reoriented Jupiter’s Largest Moon Ganymede 4 Billion Years Ago
A colossal asteroid impact about 4 billion years ago dramatically altered Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon. The asteroid, estimated to be 186 miles wide, struck Ganymede with such force that it reoriented the moon and removed a significant portion of its original surface. This impact not only created a massive crater but also affected Ganymede's in...
