You hear a lot about Europa, Io, Ganymede...but what about Jupiter's other moons?

The #JunoMission captured the tiny potato-shaped moon Amalthea. At the time the first image was taken, Juno was about 165,000 miles (265,000 km) above Jupiter’s cloud tops. go.nasa.gov/3QGnudG

Follow the glow! With the help of Earth-observing satellites, NASA scientists have found a connection between soil moisture loss and a solar-induced fluorescence from plants. This data could help us better predict fast and stealthy 'flash droughts'. go.nasa.gov/3WHuQ4l

#JunoMission is preparing for its next close encounter with Jupiter this weekend.

This image, taken during a close flyby of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io on April 9, shows the first-ever views of the moon's south polar region. go.nasa.gov/3UzJYyg

These observations came from Webb’s MIRI (built by JPL!) and NIRCam instruments.

🤓 Another fun fact: You might have a poster of this lava planet already hanging on your wall. Does this look familiar? jpl.nasa.gov/images/55-canc…

How does a black hole eat?

The Andromeda Galaxy, our cosmic neighbor, is fed by rivers of galactic dust that flow into the supermassive black hole at its center.

#TrackingWorldWater to improve flood predictions? Add it to SWOT's resume!

Scientists now have a new tool to precisely measure water heights around the world, information that can help improve forecasts of when and where floods occur. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4b4EuT9

Moving a 6,000-pound spacecraft is tricky, like when we maneuvered NASA Europa Clipper into JPL's thermal vacuum chamber, where teams simulated the conditions it will experience in space.

Up next: Moving the spacecraft from our California clean room to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

It's official: Europa Clipper's vault plate has been installed onto the spacecraft before it heads to NASA's Kennedy Space Center later this month.

Can you see that microchip on the vault plate? That's YOU!

🔴 Join us NOW for a live audio chat from the NASA Europa Clipper clean room - our last live chat before the spacecraft ships to NASA's Kennedy Space Center later this month. We're learning more about the vault plate design and its recent installation! bit.ly/clippercam

📺 Tune in live today from the clean room NASA JPL, where we’ve built our spacecraft bound for Europa! Starting at 11am PT/2pm ET/1800 GMT, team members will be on hand to take your questions about the mission and the 'message in a bottle' it carries. bit.ly/clippercam

Teachers, it’s because of you that we dare mighty things NASA JPL, doing the impossible to explore Earth, our solar system, and the universe beyond.

In honor of #TeacherAppreciationWeek , we want to share our thanks for helping us reach for the stars.

Our universe is a wondrous place.

Take a moment. Pause. Look up. Wonder.

Happy #NationalSpaceDay ✨

Pretty out of this world, right? 😉
Check out this JPL-led lunar railway system that could provide payload transport on the Moon!

Hey stargazers: What's up for May? 💫

This month is for the morning people! Be on the lookout for the Moon hanging out with Saturn and Mars before sunrise. Plus, catch morning meteors thanks to Halley's comet on May 6.

Do you recognize this “horse’s mane” in space? 🐴

NASA Webb Telescope recently captured the sharpest infrared images of this portion of the iconic Horsehead Nebula to date, revealing small-scale structures along the nebula’s edge.
