Hubble Space Telescope Finds Jupiter's Great Red Spot Mysteriously Oscillating in Size and Speed

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently captured unusual behavior in Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS). This massive storm, big enough to swallow the Earth, has been active for more than 150 years. For the first time, scientists have observed it “moving,” with its size oscillating and its speed fluctuating. The findings have left astronomers intrigued, as … Read more

NASA spacecraft will explore Jupiter's icy moon in search of conditions that support life

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft is set to explore Jupiter's moon Europa, a leading candidate for finding life beyond Earth. Europa Clipper will assess whether Europa's conditions, such as its ocean beneath an icy crust, could support life. The spacecraft, NASA's largest built to study another planet, will launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. A … Read more
