All You Need to Know About ESA's JUICE Mission

Over the past decades, Jupiter has also been one of the favourite planets that astronomers and space scientists are looking to investigate.

The reasons for interest in Jupiter by astronomers and space scientists are many. Not only Jupiter will answer many questions related to the origin of the solar system and emergence of life, but the presence of water bodies on Jupiter’s three moons (‘Ganymede’, ‘Europa’ and ‘Callisto’) has also caught the eye of various space agencies and has built the enthusiasm in them to explore the Jupiter.

Being one of the largest planets in our solar system and mostly made up of Helium and Hydrogen, it is one of the brightest objects in the night sky after Moon and Venus.

Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer”, abbreviated as “Juice” is the spacecraft in the development phase to explore the Icy moons of Jupiter, and Jupiter itself. The “European Space Agency” has given the contract to “Airbus Defence and Space” company for its design. The spacecraft will be assembled at Toulouse, France.

The main aims of the JUICE mission are to explore the gas-giant Jupiter along with the three Galilean moons (namely ‘Ganymede’, ‘Europa’, and ‘Callisto’) while excluding the ‘Io’ moon of Jupiter. The exploration of the largest planet will unfold many answers to doubtful questions, like the origin of the solar system, formation of the Jupiter and the moons orbiting it.

The spacecraft will set upon a 600-million-km long journey in August 2022. Before its final tour to Jupiter, the JUICE spacecraft will first go through the ‘Vaccum chamber test’ in the Netherlands. After the completion of the test, it will be taken to France and will be made to set off for the exploration tour to Jupiter.

Was Katy Perry’s Spaceflight Faked? Conspiracy Theorists Say CGI — But Here’s the Truth

Conspiracy theories are once again swirling across social media after pop icon Katy Perry appeared in a video from a Blue Origin space mission, prompting accusations that the footage was nothing more than a CGI Hollywood production. While the visuals from the flight show Perry in zero gravity aboard a suborbital capsule, critics in the Flat Earth and space-denial communities have claimed the entire mission was fabricated — with many insisting the star-studded mission was filmed in a studio, backed by green screens and special effects. These claims mirror the usual talking points of space-denying conspiracy theorists who routinely dismiss real science as staged entertainment, ignoring decades of documented spaceflight, international collaborations, and verifiable physics. In the case of Blue Origin’s mission, the flight was broadcast live, tracked in real time, and independently confirmed by multiple observers and agencies.

Was That Really a Mannequin in Blue Origin’s Capsule? Internet Goes Wild Over Viral Landing Photo

A recent photo from Blue Origin’s April 14, 2025, all-female spaceflight has ignited a flurry of online speculation. The image, depicting a crew member slumped inside the capsule post-landing, has led some to claim that a mannequin was used, suggesting the flight was staged. The Viral Photo and the Mannequin Claims: The photo in question shows a figure inside the capsule in a reclined position, leading to theories that it’s a mannequin. Such claims have been fueled by the figure’s stillness and posture, with some social media users asserting that the image indicates the flight was faked. Debunking the Conspiracy Theories: These claims are unfounded. The flight, known as NS-31, included a crew of six women: Katy Perry, Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, and Kerianne Flynn. The mission was live-streamed, showing the crew experiencing weightlessness and interacting during the flight . Post-landing, it’s standard procedure for astronauts to remain seated and ...

5 Space Discoveries That Flat Earthers Are Terrified Of

Flat Earthers spend endless energy trying to deny real science, but there are some space discoveries so powerful that even the loudest conspiracy theorists have no answer. These findings don’t just hint that the Earth is round — they slam the door shut on flat Earth fantasy. Here are five discoveries that Flat Earthers are absolutely terrified of, and why they can’t explain them away. 1. The ISS Live Streams the Curved Earth Thanks to the International Space Station (ISS), millions of people can watch the Earth in real time — and guess what? It’s round. The ISS orbits Earth every 90 minutes, and its 24/7 live feed shows the planet’s curved horizon, rotating under the station. Flat Earthers scramble to call it “CGI,” but the sheer scale of international cooperation to fake that would be impossible — and live feeds can’t be pre-rendered. 2. Lunar Eclipses Reveal Earth’s Round Shadow When there’s a lunar eclipse Earth casts a shadow on the Moon — and it...
