Most of the planets are aligned in our night sky right now, providing a treat for skywatchers. Are such "planetary parades" visible from other worlds?

See the stars captured by Europa Clipper's star trackers, NASA's spacecraft currently on its way to Jupiter's icy moon.

Jupiter will also be accompanied by two naked-eye star clusters: the Pleiades and Hyades.

NASA is developing autonomous software to recognize faults and hazards on worlds like Europa, and prevent or fix them without having to await commands from Earth.

NASA's Europa Clipper mission has successfully deployed its magnetometer's boom and several antennas for its radar instrument as it continues on its journey toward Jupiter's ice-covered moon.

Scientists are using chemical modeling to dissect whether life exists on icy moons in our solar system.

Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently tested prototypes of miniature, self-propelled robots designed to explore the hidden oceans of distant moons like Europa, Jupiter's icy moon.

Jupiter has no solid ground, like the grass or dirt you tread here on Earth. But how can that be? If Jupiter doesn’t have a surface, what does it have?

Jupiter has dozens of moons. Four of them in particular are of interest to planetary scientists.

Thanks to images from various NASA spacecraft, we can get an up-close look at the Jupiter ocean moon Europa long before the agency's Europa Clipper probe arrives.
