Jupiter

This year, the minimum extent of Arctic sea ice dropped to 1.82 million square miles (4.72 million square kilometers).

Researchers will use Webb to observe 17 actively forming planetary systems.

The lander cleared enough dust from one solar panel to keep its seismometer on through the summer, allowing scientists to study three big quakes.

Scientists found evidence that an area on Mars called Arabia Terra had thousands of "super eruptions" over a 500-million-year period.

The Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon, the Fruit Moon, the Barley Moon, and the Corn Moon.

Perseverance successfully collected its first pair of rock samples, and scientists already are gaining new insights into the region.

This page showcases our resources for those interested in learning more about Jupiter.

Data received late Sept. 1, 2021, from NASA’s Perseverance rover indicate the team has achieved its goal of successfully coring a Mars rock.

The rover will abrade a rock this week, allowing scientists and engineers to decide whether that target would withstand its powerful drill.

Drought is a complicated problem that requires lots of data. Satellites from NASA and its partners help collect that data.

Gene Roddenberry would have been 100 years old on Aug. 19, 2021, and we at NASA celebrate his legacy.

The Next Full Moon is a Blue Moon, and is also known as the Hungry Ghost Moon.

The images show Venus approaching from the left while the Sun is off-camera to the upper right.

Juno used its infrared instrument during recent flybys of Ganymede to create this map a decade after Juno’s launch.

This week in 2011, the Juno mission to Jupiter launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center aboard an Atlas V-551 rocket.

For the first time, astronomers have uncovered evidence of water vapor in the atmosphere of Jupiter's moon Ganymede.

NASA has selected SpaceX to provide launch services for Earth’s first mission to conduct detailed investigations of Jupiter's moon Europa.

The next full Moon goes by many names including the Buck Moon.

The probe flew closer to Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, than any other spacecraft in more than two decades.

A puzzler about the gas giant’s intense northern and southern lights has been deciphered.

Scientists are studying the effects of small impacts on Europa’s surface as they prepare to explore the distant moon with the Europa Clipper.

Some places on Earth are so extreme that NASA uses them as stand-ins for other worlds. These locations are called planetary analogs.

The spacecraft flew closer to Jupiter’s largest moon than any other in more than two decades, offering dramatic glimpses of the icy orb.

The first of the gas-giant orbiter’s back-to-back flybys will provide a close encounter with the massive moon after over 20 years.

Jupiter’s moon Europa has an icy crust covering a global ocean. The rocky layer beneath may be hot enough to melt, leading to undersea volcanoes.
