We Saw Stunning New Images of Jupiter! Here Are the Biggest Space Discoveries of 2022

Is there sound inside Jupiter, deep within its swirling chaotic clouds? Yes! And it's even weirder than you can imagine! But if we could place a floating platform deep inside the gas giant's clouds and somehow stand on it, what would it sound like? This is my look into the bizarre soundscape of the solar system's largest planet, the gas giant, Jupiter.

Where might we find life beyond Earth? On an alien planet millions of light-years away? Maybe not. Life, it turns out, could have started independently on multiple worlds just a stone's throw away. From the icy moons of Jupiter to the methane lakes of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, the search for extraterrestrial life is closer than you think.

When we look across the solar system hundreds of fascinating moons can be observed. The gas giant planet Saturn is the king of the moons, with over 146 known to be orbiting it. But it turns out, that within the rings of Saturn, new objects are forming, and there could be millions of them! So what caused Saturn's rings in the first place? What is causing the formation of these new worlds? and will they ever become one single large moon in the future?

Few worlds in our solar system are as compelling as Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus. This tiny, yet fascinating world is covered in intriguing features, the most noticeable being its bright white surface, and those enormous fractures that crisscross its frigid terrain. But it's not just its surface where incredible things have been discovered, below its frozen crust, a secret subsurface ocean exists that harbors the right ingredients necessary for life. So much of Enceladus still remains a mystery. Still, by using the stunning images captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, we can peel back the layers of this tiny world and take a closer look at its fascinating features like never before.

What are the closest images ever taken of the planet Jupiter? While many spacecraft have visited the gas giant, only NASA's Juno spacecraft has flown just above its cloud tops. Coming closer than any other spacecraft. Revealing what the largest planet in the solar system looks like up close and personal. So much of the gas giant is still a mystery, but by using the stunning images captured by Juno, we can peel back the layers of this enormous world and take a closer look at its fascinating features like never before. So, what did we see?
