2-MIN READ In a First, NASA Craft Detects FM Signals Coming from Jupiter's Biggest Moon Ganymede File photo of Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system. (Credit: REUTERS) The FM radio signals were picked up by a spacecraft called Juno. It was orbiting the gas giant when it detected the waves from Ganymede, one of Jupiter’s 79 moons. FOLLOW US ON: There are FM radio signals coming from one of Jupiter’s moon. As we generally relate FM to radio, which in turn we connect with communication, chances are some people might see it as a proof of alien life. Are they try...

 E-Mail SAN ANTONIO -- Jan. 13, 2021 -- NASA has extended the Juno mission to explore Jupiter through September 2025, expanding the science goals to include the overall Jovian system, made up of the planet and its rings and moons. In addition to continuing to explore our Solar System's largest planet, NASA's planetary orbiter will rendezvous with three of the most intriguing Jovian moons. "Since its first orbit in 2016, Juno has delivered one revelation after another about the inner workings of this massive gas giant," said Southwest Research Institute's Scott Bolton, Juno principal investi...

  Pasadena, CA – Twenty-five years ago, NASA sent history’s first probe into the atmosphere of the solar system’s largest planet.

New data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft suggests that these “hot spots” are much wider and deeper than anticipated. The findings on Jupiter’s hot spots, along with an update on Jupiter’s polar cyclones, were revealed on December 11th, 2020, during a virtual me...
