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 paper led by Nick Roberts 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! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Now published. These show lunar lander blast is 4-10x worse than we had believed. “Erosion rate of lunar soil under a landing rocket, part 1: Identifying the rate limiting physics.” authors.elsevier.com/a/1j6tY4L-YmnYn “…part 2: Benchmarking & predictions.” authors.elsevier.com/a/1j6NG4L-YmnYb No
