Bedtime Astronomy

An international team of researchers has identified possible Cryovolcanic Vents on Ganymede, where liquid and vapor may erupt from beneath the moon’s frozen crust.

By reanalyzing data from the historic Galileo mission, scientists located surface depressions that could connect to a massive underground ocean.

The findings will help guide the European Space Agency’s JUICE mission as it searches for organic molecules, geological activity, and potential signs of habitable conditions beyond Earth.
