But an investigation into how life-friendly worlds form around gas giants would be incomplete without also studying Jupiter's turbulent atmosphere, its enormous magnetic field, and the dusty rings and myriad smaller moons that orbit the planet.</p><p>Delve into more detail in the <a href="https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2022/12/Jupiter_and_its_complex_environment_2_2">second part of this infographic</a>, which presents the main questions that Juice seeks to answer about these parts of the Jovian system.</p><p><i> </i></p><p><i>Juice will make detailed observations of Jupiter and its three large ocean-bearing moons – Ganymede, Callisto and Europa – with a suite of instruments. The mission will characterise these moons as both planetary objects and possible habitats, explore Jupiter’s complex environment in depth, and study the wider Jupiter system as an archetype for gas giants across the Universe.</i></p> </div> <ul class="modal__meta_licence"> <li> <b>CREDIT</b><br> ESA (acknowledgement: work performed by ATG under contract to ESA) </li> <li> <b>LICENCE</b><br> <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/igo/" target="_blank_">CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO</a> or <a href="/ESA_Multimedia/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website" target="_blank_">ESA Standard Licence</a> <br>(content can be used under either licence) </li> </ul> <ul class="modal__meta"> <li> <div><i class="inline-icon far fa-landmark fa-fw" title="Activity"></i></div> <div> <a href="/ESA_Multimedia/Directorates/Space_Science/(result_type)/images" target="_top">Space Science</a> </div> </li> <li> <div><i class="inline-icon far fa-rocket fa-fw" title="Mission"></i></div> <div> <a href="/ESA_Multimedia/Missions/Juice/(result_type)/images" target="_top">Juice</a> </div> </li> <li> <div><i class="inline-icon far fa-tags fa-fw" title="Set"></i></div> <div> <a href="/ESA_Multimedia/Sets/Juice_launch_kit_infographics/(result_type)/images" target="_top">Juice launch kit infographics</a> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div id="modal__tab-content--related" class="modal__tab-content modal__tab-content--related"> <a class="modal__related image exploring-discovering popup" href="/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2022/12/Juice_s_journey_to_Jupiter"> <figure class="thumbnail"> <img class="image-bg" src="/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2022/12/juice_s_journey_to_jupiter/24641025-9-eng-GB/Juice_s_journey_to_Jupiter_card_medium.jpg" alt=""> </figure> <header class="entry"> <span class="pillar">Science & Exploration</span> <h3 class="heading">Juice’s journey to Jupiter</h3> <div class="meta"> <span>Image</span> <span>13044 <small>views</small></span> <span>151 <small>likes</small></span> </div> </header> </a> <a class="modal__related image exploring-discovering popup" href="/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2022/12/Juice_launch_and_deployment_timeline"> <figure class="thumbnail"> <img class="image-bg" src="/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2022/12/juice_launch_and_deployment_timeline/24640963-9-eng-GB/Juice_launch_and_deployment_timeline_card_medium.jpg" alt=""> </figure> <header class="entry"> <span class="pillar">Science & Exploration</span> <h3 class="heading">Juice launch and deployment timeline</h3> <div class="meta"> <span>Image</span> <span>13254 <small>views</small></span> <span>310 <small>likes</small></span> </div> </header> </a> <a class="modal__related image exploring-discovering popup" href="/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2022/12/Juice_s_legacy"> <figure class="thumbnail"> <img class="image-bg" src="/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2022/12/juice_s_legacy/24640828-2-eng-GB/Juice_s_legacy_card_medium.png" alt=""> </figure> <header class="entry"> <span class="pillar">Science & Exploration</span> <h3 class="heading">Juice’s legacy</h3> <div class="meta"> <span>Image</span> <span>1006 <small>views</small></span> <span>8 <small>likes</small></span> </div> </header> </a> <a class="modal__related image exploring-discovering popup" href="/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2022/12/Operating_in_an_extreme_environment"> <figure class="thumbnail"> <img class="image-bg" src="/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2022/12/operating_in_an_extreme_environment/24640693-9-eng-GB/Operating_in_an_extreme_environment_card_medium.jpg" alt=""> </figure> <header class="entry"> <span class="pillar">Science & Exploration</span> <h3 class="heading">Operating in an extreme environment</h3> <div class="meta"> <span>Image</span> <span>1636 <small>views</small></span> <span>11 <small>likes</small></span> </div> </header> </a> <a class="modal__related image exploring-discovering popup" href="/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2022/12/Five_mysteries_Juice_will_address"> <figure class="thumbnail"> <img class="image-bg" src="/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2022/12/five_mysteries_juice_will_address/24640460-8-eng-GB/Five_mysteries_Juice_will_address_card_medium.jpg" alt=""> </figure> <header class="entry"> <span class="pillar">Science & Exploration</span> <h3 class="heading">Five mysteries Juice will address</h3> <div class="meta"> <span>Image</span> <span>814 <small>views</small></span> <span>5 <small>likes</small></span> </div> </header> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script> if (jQuery.cookie('cc_cookie_accept') == "cc_cookie_accept") { var s = document.createElement("script"); s.src = "https://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"; document.body.appendChild(s); }</script>  </body> </html>
