📸 Enceladus in True Color
Saturn’s moon Enceladus has icy plumes venting from deep surface cracks near its South Pole. Captured by Cassini, this true-color image reveals its fractured terrain. The plumes contain complex organic molecules — a clue that oceans beneath the ice might support life.

NASA, SpaceX launch historic Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2024/10/europa-clipper-launch/ #kennedyspacecenter #planetaryscience #europaclipper #falconheavy #callisto #featured #ganymede #icymoon #jupiter #science #europa #falcon #lc-39a #spacex #other #nasa

If Juice doesn’t hit the Earth-Moon system at precisely the right angle and speed, it risks heading off in the wrong direction, jeopardizing the next phase of its journey to Jupiter. #ESA #Juice #Jupiter #IcyMoon #flyby #Moon #Earth

🟡 Flight dynamics measure that Juice is not only in the second red circle but in the yellow circle, extremely close to the target position marked by the black cross. These correction manoeuvres are essential to the mission's success. #ESA #Juice #Jupiter #IcyMoon #flyby #Moon #Earth

How did we achieve this? 🔴 The trajectory correction manoeuvre aimed to place Juice from the dashed red circle on the right to the one on the left.  #ESA #Juice #Jupiter #IcyMoon #flyby #Moon #Earth

Earlier this month, they have carried out a full analysis of Juice’s new trajectory, further pinning down its exact position in space. Their conclusion is that Juice's trajectory is as perfect as it can be! #ESA #Juice #Jupiter #IcyMoon #flyby #Moon #Earth

🎯 #Juice ready for world-first Moon-Earth routine In the wake of Juice's double flyby mid-August, Juice’s operators at #ESOC conducted the first of four possible trajectory correction manoeuvres, fine-tuning its path with remarkable precision. #ESA #Juice #Jupiter #IcyMoon #flyby #Moon #Earth

This month the ESA space probe Juice operates a double flyby at Earth and the Moon before going further to the icy moons of Jupiter. ESA has now published a statement to the current state of Juice‘s trajectory. Here the statement: #ESA #Juice #Jupiter #IcyMoon #flyby #Moon #Earth

The Solar System has a new ocean - it’s buried in a small Saturn moon

The sea within Saturn’s satellite Mimas formed within the last 25 million years, a blink of the eye in geologic terms.
