The European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) probe is on its (very long) way to Jupiter, and will finally arrive at the King of Planets in 2031. Its primary mission is to focus on the “big three” icy moons - Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. But while JUICE is busy mapping Ganymede’s magnetic field, it will also be keeping a sharp eye on the other 94 moons in the Jupiter system. A recent paper published in Space Science Reviews by Tilmann Denk of DLR, Germany’s space research association, and his co-authors showcases just how much “bonus science” JUICE is expected to squeeze out of these other targets.

SpaceX is preparing for its 35th Starlink mission of the year, which will launch on a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Thursday morning.
A strange lack of stellar orbits around the core of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) mystified astronomers for decades. Not only that, but the SMC has a strange, irregular shape, and sports a tidal. Now, a team of observers led by graduate student Himansch Rathore at the University of Arizona, has tracked down the reason why the stars don't orbit. It's because the SMC crashed directly through its neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), in the distant past. That huge collision disrupted stellar motions and sent them on wildly different trajectories. It also disturbed the clouds of gas within the SMC and created a tail of gas stretching out across space.
Prime Video's brutally brilliant animated superhero series returns today!
Earth was once a magma ocean world, just as all rocky worlds were early in their development, according to theory. As the very young Earth cooled, only the outer core remained molten, wrapped around a solid inner core and covered by the solid mantle and crust. This arrangement, along with coriolis forces, is what sustains our protective magnetosphere.
SpaceX conducted a static fire test with the first stage of its V3 Starship on Monday (March 16), a milestone moment for this bigger, more powerful megarocket variant.
NASA’s Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) is a small space telescope that launched to space on January 11th, 2026. Created by NASA and researchers from the School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) at the University of Arizona, the mission is tasked with monitoring the flares and sunspot activity of low-mass stars (M-type red dwarfs and K-type orange dwarfs). The telescope is equipped with far- and near-ultraviolet instruments to assess the habitability of the space environment around planets orbiting these stars.
