#ESAJuice will carry 10 instruments, comprising the most powerful payload complement ever flown to the outer Solar System 🦾

✅A remote sensing package
✅A geophysical package
✅An in situ package

+ an experiment.

Here's what they will explore 🧵👇

The remote package of #ESAJuice includes camera and spectrometers from the ultraviolet to the sub-millimetre wavelengths to study #Jupiter's clouds and explore the moons' geological features & icy surfaces.

It includes 4 instruments: JANUS, MAJIS, UVS and SWI

👉 JANUS will study global, regional & local features and processes on #Ganymede, as well as map the clouds of #Jupiter.

👉 MAJIS will observe cloud features and atmospheric constituents on Jupiter & will characterise ices and minerals on the icy moon surfaces.

#LunarWarming: Jupiter’s Icy Moons Are Heating Each Other Up, New Research Finds

weather.com/en-IN/india/sp…

(📸: NASA)

Despite being so far away from the #Sun, #Jupiter’s moons are hot—hotter than they should be! The beautiful, icy moons are known to contain interiors warm enough to host oceans of liquid water.

#IcyMoons

Previously, researchers believed that #Jupiter was the sole reason behind most of the heating associated with Io's internal ocean of magma as well as the liquid interiors of its three icy Galilean moons: #Europa, #Ganymede, and #Callisto.
