More tantalizing observations from the #JunoMission! In October, our spacecraft will set out to take an even closer look. Here's how we'll use our science instruments to study Europa from the inside out: go.nasa.gov/3QPipzY
New high-def images of Europa support the theory of a salty liquid ocean bubbling up through the moon's ice crust. These #JunoMission views reveal signs of possible plume activity and polar ice crust migration. More on @EuropaClipper's future destination: go.nasa.gov/3V2b8PC

Water Transport in the Mars Northern Winter Polar Atmosphere: Observations and Simulations. buff.ly/3QWFRva Study finds that water enters the northern winter polar vortex in the middle atmosphere (10– 50 km) on Mars, forming a vertically extended ice cloud.

New paper led by @nickmwroberts and JDHM at @Caltech on how the trace element signature of crustal melts is not always a reliable indicator for depth of formation, and thus estimates of ancient crustal thickness... a cautionary tale!

#PPOD: Mimas drifts along in its orbit against the azure backdrop of Saturn's northern latitudes in this true-color view. The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute/CICLOPS
ALT The shadows of Saturn's rings on the hazy, blue surface of the gas giant dominate the entirety of this picture, spanning from almost white in the bottom left corner to the black of night in the top right corner. Tiny moon Mimas is seen in the bottom left against the Saturnian backdrop.

We think of Earth as having all the water, but the outer solar system has us beat! Check out this free downloadable poster from the PLANETS project: planets-stem.org/sites/defau…

So happy that my first PhD paper is out! We looked at #zircon microstructures and reported evidence of precursor cubic zirconia for the first time at the West Clearwater Lake impact structure in #Canada
@drcrater @DrTMNZ
Congratulations to @neerajac1412 on the publication of
her #PhD paper on #zircon from the West Clearwater Lake impact structure 🇨🇦
This is only the 2nd report of cubic zirconia in impact melt => a minimum temp of 2370 °C! #hotrocks
