Time flies, and so do we! One month ago, we set out for Jupiter and its ocean moon, Europa. The spacecraft is now 10.2 million miles (16.5 million kilometers) from Earth. Instrument deployments are proceeding well, and the Mars flyby happens in March europa.nasa.gov/mission/timeli…

Happy New Year... on Mars! 🎉 Because the Red Planet takes longer to orbit the Sun than Earth, its year is longer. 687 days, in fact. The last one was celebrated on Dec. 26, 2022. Confused? Don't be. This "Mars in a Minute" video has the answers.

Can you believe it has been 10 years since we landed on a comet? On 12 November 2014, after a ten-year journey through the Solar System and over 500 million kilometres from home, our Rosetta mission’s lander Philae made history by touching down on a comet for the first time.…

Science is booming! We've successfully deployed the magnetometer boom. Once we arrive at Europa, the Europa Clipper Magnetometer (ECM) aims to confirm that Europa’s ocean exists, measure its depth and salinity, and measure the ice shell's thickness. More: europa.nasa.gov/spacecraft/ins…

The seasons of the Sun 🌿☀️🍂❄️ Just as Earth has seasons, our Sun moves from times of frequent eruptions to stretches of relative quiescence. It’s all part of the roughly 11-year solar cycle. Learn more in this new installment of NASA’s Illuminate series! 👇
