NASA Science News: Life under the ice on Callisto

Icepick: the Europa Ocean Explorer project is an effort to generate a design for a future mission to Jupiter's moon Europa. The spacecraft's mission would explore the liquid water oceans that may exist beneath Europa's surface. The project, organized by the Europa Ice Penetrator Internet Committee (IcePIC), is using Internet resources such as this Web site and a mailing list as collaborative ...

Callisto is the second largest moon of Jupiter, the third largest in the solar system, and is about the same size as Mercury. It is the most heavily cratered satellite in the solar system. Its crust is very ancient.

Java Jupiter by Akkana Peck This Java applet shows the positions of the four Galilean satellites of Jupiter, their shadows, and the Great Red Spot, currently displayed at system II longitude 80, as reported on 10/21/2001 on the ALPO Jupiter list; some years one can find its location at the ALPO Jupiter section. To show the positions of the moons at a different time, edit the date in the text ...

Jupiter has four large moons and dozens of small ones. Galileo first discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto in 1610, using a 20-power telescope; these moons are known as the Galilean moons.

Jupiter satellite events and GRS times for 2002 Following are times for the shadow, transit, occultation, and eclipse events for Jupiter's four major satellites in 2002. All times are in Universal Time (UT). Jupiter is in conjunction with the sun on 20 July, so some of these events are of theoretical interest only. All of these tables were generated with Guide 8.0 , which provides a pretty ...

Himalia is the tenth known satellite of Jupiter and is the brightest of Jupiter's outer satellites. Himalia is most likely an irregularly shaped asteroid that was captured into orbit around Jupiter.

The Identification of Ices in the Solar System The composition of ices on other bodies in our Solar System can be determined by comparing the infrared spectra of laboratory ices with the infrared spectra of these objects taken using telescopes. An example of how this is done is provided below. Io is one of the Galilean moons of the planet Jupiter is perhaps most famous as the Solar System's most ...
