The first ever 3D radiation map of Jupiter and its moons has been created using low-light cameras aboard the Juno Spacecraft that have been tweaked to operate as radiation detectors.

In addition to Jupiter, the researchers have observed Neptune and Uranus, and maps of those planets also will be placed in the public archive. Saturn will be added to the series later.

Unveiling the surface The map will also help scientists understand the solar system by looking at the miniature solar system that Jupiter and its moons make up, said Jim Head, a professor of ...

Scientists have assembled the first global geological map of the solar system’s largest moon — and in doing so have gathered new evidence into the formation of the large, icy satellite.

Using cameras designed for navigation, scientists count ‘fireflies’ to determine the amount of radiation the spacecraft receives during each orbit of Jupiter. Scientists with NASA’s Juno ...

An astronomer's map of a heat wave on Jupiter helped solve the planet's "energy crisis" mystery. Solar plasma triggered an aurora at Jupiter's north pole, which sent a heat wave spilling down the ...
