Surface Mass Ejection
A surface mass ejection (SME), depicted in this
illustration, is a relatively recently discovered phenomenon in stellar astrophysics.
They are similar to coronal mass ejections but on a far larger scale. During an SME,
a star can release hundreds of ...

Europa - V5
Europa is one of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter, and the second closest to the
planet (after Io). Its surface is a shell of
fractured ice but very few craters, as the latter are eradicated by surface movements of the ice almost as soon as they ar...

Jupiter, Europa and Io - V2
Illustration of Jupiter and two of its largest satellites, Europa (right) and Io
(left, smaller). Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter, and
the second closest to the planet. Its surface is icy
and relatively smooth. Impacting ...

Juno at Io
On 30 December 2023, the Juno spacecraft, exploring the Jovian system, approached the
volcanic moon Io at a distance of just 1500 km (930 miles). A similar encounter is
scheduled to take place on 3 February 2024. The probe is monitoring the moon's vo...

Coronal Mass Ejection - V2
Illustration of a coronal mass ejection emanating from the Sun. These events, CMEs
for short, are powerful releases of solar charged particles (plasma) and magnetic
field, travelling on the solar wind. When a CME hits Earth, it can cause a
geomagneti...
