Using Webb, scientists have discovered elusive chemical compounds, each on a different Jovian moon, including one that's a common disinfectant. Reading time: Reading time 4 minutes Two new studies ...

Trapped in a gravitational push and pull between Jupiter and other Jovian moons, Io is constantly being stretched and compressed. Heat generated by these contortions has melted pockets of the moon's ...

High in the atmosphere of Venus, a swirl of sulfur-containing clouds blankets the planet. Dark spots in these clouds correspond with areas of high ultraviolet light absorption, but researchers have ...
