Special Issue on the Icy Moons surface-environment interactions in Planetary Research : call for contributions
The exploration of icy moons in the outer Solar System is entering a transformative era, building on the legacy of the Galileo mission at Jupiter and Cassini at Saturn, and driven by upcoming missions such as ESA’s JUICE, NASA’s Europa Clipper, and Dragonfly, as well as future mission concepts targeting Enceladus. These efforts offer unprecedented opportunities to investigate the surface, exospheric, and magnetospheric environments of icy moons, significantly advancing our understanding […] -
A Sudden Decline in US Planetary Meetings in 2025
2025 has been a difficult year for all science in the United States. Science agencies, including NASA and NSF, are being threatened with wildly reduced funding levels in the President's Budget Request for 2026 with implementation underway at different levels in 2025. There have been significant unplanned personnel cuts. NASA is already reported to have lost 20% of its workforce with unknown consequences. In the meantime, the private-sector scientific workforce, which is essential in the […]https://blog.planetary-research.org/2026/01/07/a-sudden-decline-in-us-planetary-meetings-in-2025/

Day 4 of #EPSCDPS #EPSCDPS2025. Kicking off with some cool #JWST talks with some #comets stuff tucked into the afternoon session. We are also displaying a poster on the new 💎 #OpenAccess #PlanetaryScience journal #PlanetaryResearch today. I'll be there in Lampio foyer from 18.00

The planets can be observed not only in visible light but also in the radio range! The first attempts at radio observations of planets began in 1954 when intense radio bursts from Jupiter were detected. This radiation did not come directly from the planet but from processes in its magnetosphere.
#FunFact: Jupiter's magnetic field is massive, even relative to the size of the planet itself – it extends over 650 million kilometers (to the orbit of Saturn!) and is 4000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field. 🚀🌍 A pulsar's magnetic field, however, can be up to 100 trillion times stronger than Jupiter's!
Radio waves penetrate deep into planet atmospheres or the surface, providing us with information that cannot be obtained through other methods. For example, phase fluctuations in the radio emissions were detected on the Moon and Mercury. On Mars, high electrical conductivity in the soil due to iron oxides was detected.
#funfact Radio astronomy amateurs assure that Jupiter can also be "received" and "heard" at home. All you need is a radio receiver for radio waves in the 18 to 22 MHz range and an antenna specifically designed for this frequency range. 📡

Here is the recording of our last #PlanetaryResearch #DiamondOA journal meeting. Most of the discussion was about our upcoming call for an editor-in-chief, editors, associate editors, and media team members.
