• Scientists map sulfur residue on Jupiter's icy moon Europa
  (Wed, 22 Jun 2022 10:14:07 EDT)
  
  A team has used the Hubble Space Telescope to observe Jupiter's moon, Europa, at ultraviolet wavelengths, filling in a 'gap' in the various wavelengths used to observe this icy water world. The team's near-global UV maps show concentrations of sulfur dioxide on Europa's trailing side.
  
  
• Scientists identify a possible source for Charon's red cap
  (Tue, 21 Jun 2022 10:56:47 EDT)
  
  Scientists combined data from NASA's New Horizons mission with novel laboratory experiments and exospheric modeling to reveal the likely composition of the red cap on Pluto's moon Charon and how it may have formed. This first-ever description of Charon's dynamic methane atmosphere using new experimental data provides a fascinating glimpse into the origins of this moon's red spot as described in two recent articles.

• Watching the death of a rare giant star
  (Thu, 16 Jun 2022 14:43:17 EDT)
  
  Extreme supergiant stars known as hypergiants are very rare, with only a few known to exist in the Milky Way. By tracing molecular emissions in the outflows around the red hypergiant star VY Canis Majoris, astronomers obtained the first detailed map of the star's envelope, which sheds light on the mechanisms involved in the final stages of extreme supergiant star.
