Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS pours water into space, JUICE reveals

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is actively ejecting water vapor as it passes near the Sun, with an outflow of about two tons per second (roughly 70 Olympic swimming pools of water vapor per day), observed by ESA’s JUICE spacecraft using the MAJIS and JANUS instruments. Infrared detections of water vapor and carbon dioxide around perihelion show an extended coma, tail, and jets, offering a glimpse into materials formed around another star billions of years ago. The observations were unplanned and conducted in 2025, with data reaching Earth in 2026, highlighting JUICE’s capability to study interstellar visitors on its journey to Jupiter.

JUICE Captures 120 Images of Interstellar Comet 3I/Atlas as It Recedes

ESA’s JUICE mission photographed interstellar comet 3I/Atlas in more than 120 JANUS images on November 6, 2025, a week after its closest approach to the Sun. The shots show a bright coma and a long tail, and scientists are analyzing the data (with results expected in late March). 3I/Atlas, discovered June 2025 by ATLAS, is only the third known interstellar visitor, and as it drifts away from the Sun, JUICE continues its deep-space observations on its way to Jupiter (arrival in 2031).

Track Four Legendary Probes Across January’s Night Sky

Space.com guides readers to spot four legendary spacecraft—James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Europa Clipper, JUICE, and Voyager 1—in January’s night sky, with finder charts and timing tips (including JWST’s path from Orion toward Jupiter and the planet’s January opposition). The piece also suggests using timeanddate or stargazing apps (Starry Night, Stellarium) for precise rise/set times and locations, and adds bonus targets around Orion’s Belt and the Orion Nebula.

ESA restores contact with JUICE spacecraft ahead of Venus flyby

Europe's JUICE spacecraft, en route to Jupiter, experienced a communication glitch but successfully reestablished contact before its crucial Venus flyby on August 31, which is part of its trajectory to study Jupiter's moons. The mission aims to arrive at Jupiter in July 2031 and includes multiple gravity assists, with the Venus flyby helping to increase its velocity. Despite the communication issue caused by a software glitch, the spacecraft is in good health and on schedule for its upcoming maneuvers.

5 Unexpected Drinks That Can Aid Weight Loss, Say Dietitians

Contrary to popular belief, several drinks often considered 'bad' can actually fit into a weight loss plan, including dairy milk, soy milk, 100% pomegranate juice, naturally sweetened coffee, and low-calorie sodas, when consumed mindfully. The key is to monitor calorie and sugar content, and choose nutrient-rich options that promote satiety and hydration, making it possible to enjoy a variety of beverages while working towards weight loss goals.

"ESA's JUICE Mission: Key Details on Lunar-Earth Flyby and Jupiter Journey"

ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) will perform a historic lunar-Earth flyby on August 19-20, 2024, using the Moon and Earth's gravity to adjust its trajectory towards Jupiter. This complex maneuver, the first of its kind, will slow Juice down and set it on a path for a Venus flyby in 2025. The mission requires precise navigation and offers a unique opportunity to test and calibrate Juice's scientific instruments.

"JUICE Probe Harnesses Earth and Moon's Gravity to Reach Jupiter"

The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft performed a 43-minute burn to position itself for an upcoming Earth-moon flyby, which will be the first-ever double gravity assist of the two celestial bodies. This maneuver used up 10% of the spacecraft's fuel, and it is part of a series of gravity assists that will slingshot JUICE towards Jupiter to study the planet and its icy moons. The burn was challenging as some aspects couldn't be tested in advance, but if successful, JUICE may not need to use its main engine again until it enters orbit around Jupiter in 2031.

"Delays and Challenges: Unraveling the Long Journey of ESA's Juice Mission"

The European Space Agency's Juice mission to Jupiter is taking a long time due to various factors, including the amount of fuel used, the power of the rocket, the mass of the spacecraft, and the geometry of the planets. To reach Jupiter, the spacecraft must take a scenic route and make use of gravity-assist maneuvers to pick up extra speed. Once at Jupiter, Juice will conduct flybys of its moons and become the first spacecraft to orbit a moon other than Earth's. The mission aims to study Jupiter's moons and gather insights into the formation of planets and moons in the universe.

ESA's Juice Probe Fully Deployed and Ready to Explore Jupiter's Moons in 2031

The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) spacecraft has completed the unfurling of its solar panel arrays and various booms, probes, and antennae while en route to Jupiter. Juice will explore Jupiter while conducting 35 flybys of Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, which are each hypothesized to contain bodies of liquid water beneath their icy crusts. The spacecraft will also conduct further examinations of the entire Jupiter system, as scientists hypothesize this could help paint a clearer picture of gas giant exoplanets.

Jupiter reaches final form with completed juice deployments.

ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) has completed its final deployments, including the Radio & Plasma Wave Investigation (RPWI) and JANUS optical camera instrument, in preparation for exploring Jupiter. The RPWI will generate a 3D map of the electric fields around Jupiter and collect data on energy transfer between Jupiter's magnetosphere and its icy moons. The JANUS camera will take images in 13 different colours to investigate the moons Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa, as well as other parts of the Jovian system. Juice will perform the world's first-ever lunar-Earth gravity assist in August 2024.

JUICE Probe Successfully Deploys Stuck Antenna on Journey to Jupiter

The Jupiter Icy moons Explorer (JUICE) probe, launched on April 14, has captured its first images of Earth and is on a 12-year mission to study three of Jupiter's icy moons: Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The probe will use the gravity of the Earth-Moon system to propel it on its trajectory through the inner solar system, targeting September 2026 for an Earth flyby, followed by another one in November 2029. JUICE is estimated to reach Jupiter in 2031 and will investigate these large moons for signs that they could host life.

JUICE spacecraft overcomes antenna obstacle on journey to Jupiter.

Airbus Space's robotic telescope captured footage of Europe's JUICE Jupiter probe, which is on an eight-year journey to the Jupiter system to investigate the Jovian atmosphere and its physics, as well as study the Jupiter ocean moons Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa. The footage shows JUICE at its center surrounded by bright specks, which are background stars, and was captured when the spacecraft was nearly 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth. JUICE will arrive at the Jovian system in July 2031 after several gravity boosts from Earth, the moon, and Venus.

Jupiter-bound spacecraft's stuck antenna released after clever fix.

The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission has successfully deployed its 16-meter-long Radar for Icy Moons Exploration (RIME) antenna after weeks of effort to loosen a stuck pin. The RIME instrument is designed to probe below the surfaces of the large icy moons of Europa, Ganymede and Callisto to depths of up to nine kilometers. JUICE will arrive at Jupiter in 2031, a year after NASA's Europa Clipper mission, slated to launch in October 2024.
