Officials in charge of NASA’s Juno space probe orbiting Jupiter last weekend delayed a crucial maneuver due to a main engine malfunction, they said. In addition, the ship’s computer systems ...

What can temperature readings beneath the surface of Jupiter’s moon, Io, teach scientists about planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical ...

A NASA probe peered beneath the surface of the most volcanic world in the solar system, revealing scorching heat rising from below its crust. During two recent close flybys of Jupiter’s moon Io, ...

Juno spacecraft Io subsurface temperature data, published July 2026, shows tidal heating raises temperatures more than 40 degrees Fahrenheit within feet of the surface — up to 30 times Earth's global ...

Io’s surface may look frozen in place from afar, but just below it, temperatures climb sharply. NASA’s Juno spacecraft has now measured that buried heat directly, exposing a world still being reshaped ...
