Q: A rare triple Eclipse from three of Jupiter’s moons

A rare triple eclipse from three of Jupiter ’s moons captured by Hubble space telescope. On February 5, 2014, the Hubble space telescope captured a rare triple eclipse, Io, Callista, and Europa eclipsing Jupiter in succession.

Q: Europa's amazing surface

The puzzling, impressive surface of Jupiter ’s icy moon Europa looms large in this newly-reprocessed color view, made from images taken by NASA's Galileo. This is the color view of Europa from Galileo in the late 1990s, showing the largest portion of the moon's surface at the highest resolution. The view was previously released as a mosaic with lower resolution and strongly enhanced color (see PIA02590 ). To create this new version, the images were assembled into a realistic color view of the surface that approximates how Europa would appear to the human eye. The scene shows the stunning diversity of Europa’s surface geology. Long, linear cracks and ridges crisscross the surface, interrupted by regions of disrupted terrain where the surface ice crust has been broken up and re-frozen into new patterns. Color variations across the surface are associated with differences in geologic feature type and location. For example, areas that appear blue or white contain relatively pure water ice, while reddish and brownish areas include non-ice components in higher concentrations. The polar regions, visible at the left and right of this view, are noticeably bluer than the more equatorial latitudes, which look more white. This color variation is thought to be due to differences in ice grain size in the two locations. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SETI Institute Read more at NASA

Q: Rover drives under Alaska's ice

NASA remote pilots an untethered rover under Alaska 's ice, in a first-time success. An unmanned vehicle that may be explore the icy oceans of Jupiter 's moon Europa. Watch the video... It's a milestone in the quest to develop an unmanned vehicle that could one day plumb the icy reaches of moon Europa . The rover uses a two-wheeled design with a flexible dragging tail, enabling it to fit into a 10-inch diameter ice borehole. The sealed air-filled cylindrical body, along with closed-cell foam inside of cone-shaped wheels, provides buoyancy force to enable roving along the underside of the ice. via Youtube
