closeup photos of Jupiter but to engage the public

Juno has an instrument, dubbed JunoCam, that was designed not just to take great closeup photos of Jupiter but to engage the public. The science team allows citizens to process the camera's images and polls the crowd for what to focus on next. Juno has been orbiting Jupiter for over seven years. The spacecraft is studying the origin and evolution of Jupiter, looking for its core, mapping its magnetic field, measuring water and ammonia in the atmosphere, watching for its auroras, and homing in on Jupiter’s moons and dust rings.

where the pull of gravity is so intense Hubert Hurkacz Tommy Paul

But a Hollywood blockbuster set decades in the future is no comparison to the real thing – even if it was directed by Christopher Nolan.

That's a moon, orbiting its enormous mother planet in space. The teeny tiny moon is Amalthea, and though it was caught zipping in front of the very ruddy eye of Jupiter's long-lived high pressure zone, astronomers say this moon is in fact the reddest object in the solar system. Scientists think its hue is caused by sulfur from the nearby Jovian moon Io, a world with active volcanoes.

Newcastle is hoping to land astronauts

NASA is aiming to change that, and soon. The Artemis program, if all goes according to schedule, will return American astronauts to the moon within the next few years. The United States isn't alone, though. China is hoping to land astronauts on the moon by the end of the decade. Last week, it launched a probe to gather samples from the far side of the moon, with the goal of returning them to Earth. India and other countries have landed uncrewed craft on the moon in recent years as well. He missed a chance to be the first Black astronaut. Now, at 90, he's going into space SPACE He missed a chance to be the first Black astronaut. Now, at 90, he's going into space This time around, the space race isn't just about who gets there first. It's a race for resources, such as water, which could fuel further space exploration to Mars and other destinations. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson recently spoke to All Things Considered about the agency's ambitious goals for the...
