Astronomers have long been intrigued by the makeup of the asteroid belt’s largest body. When it was first spotted in 1801, Ceres appeared dry and rocky, its surface marked by craters and dents.

Her mission, the Callisto Hidden Ice Probe, involves sending a rover to Callisto’s craters to test materials and gather clues about the moon’s climate to determine if it could have sustained ...

NASA's Voyager probes passed through Jupiter's system and snapped pictures of its largest moons, also known as the Galilean moons. These pictures and the data they gathered offered the first hints ...

Since Callisto also has an intense ionosphere, the team decided to test their methods on 30-year-old measurements taken by NASA's Galileo mission. That mission launched in 1989 and scanned Jupiter ...
