Any future for a lander visiting the Jovian moon is uncertain.
|
|
These are questions that will engage Jovian researchers for years to come.
|
|
Some newly published results greatly expand our knowledge of these Jovian lightning strikes.
|
|
But Jupiter's aurorae have something Earth's don't: strange features caused by the Jovian moons.
|
|
The sheer number of rocks means they likely came from outside the Jovian system.
|
|
Why are there no craters on its moon Enceladus or the Jovian moon Europa?
|
|
If you want to go to the Jovian system, you need heavy radiation shielding.
|
|
The exception might be Janet Malcolm, she of the slashing style and Jovian pronouncements.
|
|
Fingers crossed, all of the probe's equipment will continue working in the extreme Jovian environment.
|
|
The scale here in this small Jovian snapshot is a whopping 227 miles per pixel.

|
In the case of the Jovian Trojans, the two larger objects are Jupiter and the Sun.
|
|
This causes the Jovian moon, Europa, to transform from an icy wasteland into a verdant jungle.
|
|
But another Jovian mystery—whether the planet features a deeper layer of water clouds—remains unsolved.
|
|
Throughout June, the spacecraft snapped images of the Jovian system as it traveled closer and closer.
|
|
Indeed, this Jovian moon harbors a global-scale, liquid-water ocean beneath its volatile icy crust.
|
|
The small Jovian moon was captured by the Juno spacecraft in orbit around the banded gas giant.
|
|
If true, this means that Jovian-class planets and brown dwarves are hereditarily distinct classes of objects.
|
|
There's Europa, an icy Jovian moon and the focus of a longstanding science fiction trope about alien life.
|
|
Using Juno's Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper, the team studies the layers of the atmosphere invisible to the naked eye.
|
|
The researchers analyzed data from the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) infrared camera and spectrometer on the Juno spacecraft.
|
|
But unlike the Jovian storm, which is relatively fixed in place, the dark vortices on Neptune drift across latitudes.
|
|
So in the race between solar and nuclear power generators within Jovian space, solar is already hitting a snag.
|
|
Not for Denis some bumbling trip around the neighborhood, dropping in on Mars or a couple of Jovian moons.
|
|
Yesterday, a team of researchers announced the discovery of 12 new Jovian moons, bringing Jupiter's total up to 79.
|
|
Scientists constructed the video earlier this year from data collected by the Juno mission's Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM).

Shown in green, the Jovian Trojans are divided into two clusters—the "Greeks" out front, and the "Trojans" trailing behind.
|
|
Composite images sent back by Juno's Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper show these polar cyclones in stunning detail via infrared light.
|
|
It features a portrait of the scientist and a passage from his notes on his discovery of the Jovian moons.
|
|
Then early in 17th-century Italy, Galileo built his telescope and identified the Jovian bands along with four moving dots.
|
|
The spacecraft will finally reach the Jovian system in 2027—or more accurately, it will arrive within Jupiter's vast orbital plane.
|
|
Jovian storms, chaotic and spectacular as they are, offer a stark reminder of how awesome and terrifying the universe really is.
|
|
But many more Jovian mysteries remain, including whether or not a deeper layer of water-rich clouds exists within Jupiter's atmosphere.
|
|
But when slowed down by a factor of 60, the songs of the Jovian ionosphere can be converted into audible frequencies.

She was no longer an engineer, but a scientist documenting the effects of the Jovian atmosphere on the probe's instruments, and more.
|
|
These instruments included the JunoCam, the Stellar Reference Unit (SRU), the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM), and the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVS).
|
|
There are over 20 different space sounds featured in NASA's new playlist, including Jovian magnetic burps, plasma waves, and interstellar light curves.
|
|
While there aren't any Jovian penguins on this south pole (that we know of), we can clearly see magnificent, swirling white clouds.

"Image processing is a creative process," visual artist Seán Doran, who has made a number of the most familiar Jovian images, told Gizmodo.
|
|
Already, folks around the world have downloaded the raw images and gone to town in Photoshop to make some beautifully trippy, Jovian artwork.
|
|
During its 16 months of primary science operations, it will be skimming to within 3,100 miles of the Jovian clouds every two weeks.
|
|
Today, he and other scientists presented more evidence that the Jovian moon is spewing out big fountains of water from its icy surface.
|
|
The probe captured images of some of the other Jovian moons as it flew by the planet, and continued to transmit until 493.
|
|
But some incredible images of the north and south poles were also snapped in infrared wavelengths by the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM).
|
|
They've been studied so intensively over the past few decades that "Jovian space weather scientist" has become a bonafide sub-discipline of astronomy.

|
Known as the Jovian Trojans, they are organized into two giant clumps—one in front of the gas giant and one that trails behind.
|
|
This tortured moon is embroiled in a gravitational tug-of-war between Jupiter and other Jovian satellites, causing intense tidal heating within its interior.
|
|
NASA's mission to Europa is currently slated for launch in 2023, and it'll aim to get the closest view yet of the Jovian moon.
|
|
Cyclones also exist on Jupiter, but the warm air at the centers of Jovian cyclones often forms wispy clouds, or no clouds at all.
|
|
You find it most sharply on the Jovian moon of Io. You have regained your Guardian abilities at this point, but you're the only one.
|
|
The above image was taken on March 27th, 2017, at 5:06 am EDT (2:06 am PDT) as Juno performed its fifth Jovian flyby.
|
|
Solar power may still make passive exploration of the Jovian system a reality as Juno begins its dive-bomb science orbits in the coming months.

|
|
That's why it would be wise for all amateurs to monitor the site to look for an impact scar or changes in Jovian cloud patterns.
|
|
In fact, the Jovian magnetosphere is the largest planetary structure in the solar system by volume, extending 75 times beyond the reaches of the planet itself.
|
|
During a perijove, the Juno probe dives over Jupiter's north pole, screams past the Jovian cloud tops at 130,000 mph, and exits at the south pole.
|
|
The resonance between the Jovian moons of Io, Europa and Ganymede causes tides inside Io, creating friction, heat and the solar system's most active volcanic system.
|
|
Once the mission is over, the spacecraft will be de-orbited and will burn up in Jupiter's atmosphere to avoid any potential contamination of the Jovian moons.
|
|
Juno is expected to orbit until February 2018, when it will boldly self-immolate in the Jovian atmosphere to avoid contaminating Jupiter's moons, which may host life.
|
|
Once wide enough to swallow three Earth-sized planets, the famed Jovian weather system has been shrinking for the past 100 years and may eventually disappear altogether.
|
|
Normally, magnetospheres are forged by the pressure of the Sun's incoming winds, but in this case, it's being shaped by slow-moving plasma wafting around the Jovian system.
|
|
Trump's proposal would fund a mission to the Jovian moon Europa while cutting the agency's education office, and would put off an upgrade to the Space Launch System.
|
|
The Jovian impact — which was first reported by Phil Plait at Slate and confirmed by Mashable — looks like a small flash just above Jupiter's distinctive clouds before disappearing.
|
|
While astronomers have not yet snagged a direct detection of Planet Nine, Sheppard's team found these new Jovian moons as a byproduct of their search for the speculative planet.
|
|
To collect more data, scientists have been studying the Jovian satellite using telescopes—no small feat considering Europa is smaller than Earth's moon and about 500 million miles away.
|
|
In 1892, American astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard discovered Amalthea, a fifth satellite orbiting Jupiter, but it would be decades before astronomers got their next good look at the Jovian system.
|
|
While the Jovian origin story has always been a bit of a mystery, a new study suggests the weird world got very large very quickly, and not from crushing protein shakes.
|
|
But a newly released, enhanced-color image of a large dark spot might be the most ethereal of all—its swirling, colorful clouds make it seem like a Jovian Van Gogh.
|
|
If the waters there are carrying sodium chloride, a major component of sea salt, then it's tantalizingly possible that these Jovian seas hold life, just like the ones here on Earth.
|
|
"We have sent spacecraft to the Jovian system before, but they all kept their distance from Jupiter," Steve Levin, a Juno project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told The Verge.

|
|
The spacecraft, which has been en route to the Jovian system for the past four years, will enter into a polar orbit to study Jupiter's composition, gravity field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere.
|
|
Enceladus also has a subterranean ocean beneath its crust, but unlike the Jovian moon, its south pole features geysers that constantly spew ocean water out into space—offering free samples, so to speak.
|
|
"Our other discovery is a real oddball and has an orbit like no other known Jovian moon," Scott Sheppard, Carnegie scientist and leader of the team behind the discovery, said in a statement.
|
|
The astronomers who made the discovery, a team led by Scott Sheppard from the Carnegie Institution for Science, launched a public contest earlier this year to name five of the new Jovian moons.
|
|
Excitingly, the Europa Clipper mission may be a forerunner to a landing mission on the Jovian moon, in which a probe would drill through the icy surface and plunge into the dark ocean beneath.
|
|
Sheppard's team speculated that this moon, which is tentatively named after the Roman goddess Valetudo, may have once been a larger body, but has been gradually whittled down by clashes with other Jovian moons.
|
|
Then, in February 2018, when its circuits are on their last legs, it will fire its engine one final time, propel itself into the Jovian atmosphere and destroy itself—a fate already suffered by Galileo.
|
|
Prior to the new study, scientists assumed that the Jovian Southern and Northern Lights operate according to the same processes that produce strong aurora on Earth, but new data from Juno suggests this isn't the case.
|
|
By exploring the Jovian Trojans, scientists will gain a better understanding of these objects and how they got caught in Jupiter's gravitational field, while also learning more about the chemical composition of the early solar system.
|
|
The NASA spacecraft, which arrived at the Jovian system in July 2017, is in a highly elliptical polar orbit that brings it close to the gas giant's cloud tops and then out again into deeper space.
|
|
When Juno&aposs work is done, the probe will be de-orbited intentionally into Jupiter&aposs thick atmosphere, to ensure that the spacecraft doesn&apost contaminate the potentially life-supporting Jovian moon Europa with microbes from Earth.
|
|
Long before the NASA spacecraft ever got there, we knew that the giant planet had lots going on atmosphere-wise, but it's fair to say Juno has given us a whole new scope on the Jovian beast.
|
|
"These first infrared views of Jupiter's north and south poles are revealing warm and hot spots that have never been seen before," said Alberto Adriani, co-investigator on Juno's Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper instrument, in a statement.
|
|
This photograph, snapped by NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, looks like it may have been taken over some Martian canyon or Jovian moon, but it was captured as the International Space Station coasted far above strange rocky features in Africa.
|
|
Getting under the skin One tool, known as the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM), captured infrared wavelengths of Jupiter's north and south pole, essentially getting underneath the planet's skin, according to Alberto Adriani, JIRAM co-investigator, who is based in Rome.
|
|
How it might work on a Jovian scale: As Europa moves through Jupiter's magnetic field, a current courses through a subsurface conductor of some sort on the moon, creating a miniature magnetic field flipped to oppose the field of Jupiter.
|
|
On Europa, the real action is in its ocean; if at last the Jovian moon does get a rover that could get beneath its surface, it makes sense that the robot would crawl on the underside of its ice shell.
|
|
"Data from Juno's Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper [JIRAM] instrument indicates we went from a pentagon of cyclones surrounding one at the center to a hexagonal arrangement," said Alessandro Mura, a Juno co-investigator at the National Institute for Astrophysics in Rome.
|
|
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet, may have been smacked head-on by an embryonic planet 10 times Earth's mass not long after being formed, a monumental crash with apparent lasting effects on the Jovian core, scientists said on Thursday.
|
|
It heralds the beginning of a nuclear-powered era of space exploration, which will open the door to previously impossible missions into deep space, whether this is powering settlements on Mars or using robotic submarines to explore the icy oceans of Jovian moons.
|
|
New research led by University of Leicester astronomers and published in Geophysical Research Letters shows that Jovian weather is even more complex than we thought, and includes a localized dark spot near Jupiter's north pole that's probably being generated by the gas giant's polar aurorae.
|
|
Jupiter's moon Europa is like the Brigadoon of the solar system: an idyllic moon with an ice-covered ocean that may hide some form of life, even though plans to send a spacecraft there keep receding farther and farther away into the Jovian mists.
|
|
NASA is required by law to ensure that there is no chance any hardy Earthling microbes could hitch a ride to the Jovian moons—especially Europa, which is thought to have beneath its icy surface a liquid-water ocean that might conceivably support life.

|
|
Though Jupiter has had other man-made visitors, all but one of them simply flew past it on their way elsewhere, taking a few photographs to send back home while they gathered energy from the Jovian gravitational field in a so-called slingshot manoeuvre, to speed their journeys up.
|
|
Within a year of making his first telescope in 1609, Galileo had modified the device so that it could magnify objects by a factor of twenty, an improvement that facilitated some of the most important discoveries in early astronomy, such as four Jovian moons and the existence of sunspots.
|
|
"The main Jovian aurora, at lower latitudes, and mainly ultraviolet, is NOT affected by solar activity/storms or solar wind variations but is driven by Jupiter's rotation and the movement of the magnetospheric plasma with this rotation," astronomer Tom Cravens, who did not participate in the new study, told Mashable.
|
|
Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS/Gerald Eichstadt/Justin CowartThe probe has since lived a year and a half in the harsh Jovian environment, delivering some of the most incredible images imaginable along with tons of science—some have said that it's completely subverted what we know about giant planets.

A little under a year before my trip to the VTCRI, my new psychiatrist told me that maybe I don't have bipolar disorder, or just bipolar disorder, that maybe all this — my constantly filling chest, the fog of despair; the hearing of voices like a TV is on in another room, always another unfindable room; the auditory hallucinations like a snippet of Game Boy soundtrack; the certainty that I am among the finest nonfiction writers in the world, the certainty that I am among the worst; the immense soaring flights of run-on sentences which burn like neon and scorch the sky and wherein I express and value and impress upon others My ego, My Jovian ego, My Galactus ego, My capitalize My pronouns ego; the moments I wane until I fade into a shade; the black-hole need for outside validation, the willingness to devour friends for it, the marrow-sucking need; my paranoia, my irresistible texting jags, my ranting, in private and in public, outside bars and in the street — points to something else, a diagnostic pattern hidden in the shadows of my most severe symptoms.
