Distance from Jupiter: Europa is Jupiter's sixth satellite ... From fluctuations in Europa's magnetic field that suggests a conductor of some sort, scientists also think there is an ocean deep ...

Clipper will not be orbiting Europa itself because of Jupiter’s formidable magnetic field—roughly 20,000 times stronger than our own planet’s. The field’s radiation would fry any ...

But because Europa is constantly bombarded by intense radiation created by Jupiter’s magnetic field, the Clipper spacecraft can’t orbit the moon itself. Instead, it will slide into an ...

Three of Jupiter’s moons – Europa, Ganymede and Callisto ... is bigger than Mercury and has its own magnetic field generated internally from a liquid metal core. Callisto appears somewhat ...

The ice on the surface of Jupiter's massive moon Europa is constantly changing, hinting at the presence of a subsurface ocean ...

Europa Clipper flies above the icy surface ... moon’s magnetic field (generated by its motion through Jupiter’s changing magnetic field). These observations will confirm the presence of ...

Three of Jupiter’s moons – Europa, Ganymede ... is bigger than Mercury and has its own magnetic field generated internally from a liquid metal core. Callisto appears somewhat inert compared ...

A groundbreaking study has unveiled a startling portrait of Jupiter‘s early days, revealing the gas giant was once nearly twice its current size and wielded a magnetic field about 50 times ...

And it has a magnetometer, which is key to determining if Europa has the ingredients to support life, he said. “Jupiter’s magnetic field is 20,000 times stronger than Earth’s, and Europa’s ...

A spacecraft that will study one of Jupiter’s moons launched Monday on a journey of more than six years to discover if the moon has the ability to support life. The solar-powered spacecraft ...

The researchers also determined that Jupiter's magnetic field at that time was approximately 50 times stronger than it is today. Adams highlights the remarkable imprint the past has left on today ...
