NASA's Juno Unveils Dramatic Changes on Europa's Surface
High-resolution images from Juno reveal shifting ice and potential cryovolcanic activity on Jupiter's moon Europa, offering new insights for upcoming missions.
- Juno's recent flyby of Europa captured high-resolution images showing significant geological changes.
- Evidence of true polar wander suggests Europa's ice shell has shifted over its subsurface ocean.
- Newly observed features, including the 'Platypus,' indicate possible cryovolcanic activity.
- The images reveal potential plume activity and surface disruptions, hinting at subsurface liquid water.
- These findings will guide future missions like NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's Juice.
