The European Space Agency recently launched its JUICE probe, which will be the first to ever orbit another planet's moon when it reaches Ganymede.

The new analysis provides the first comprehensive view of how this process takes shape on Ganymede's surface. Ganymede is the only moon in the Solar System known to have its own magnetic field. This led scientists to hypothesize that the magnetic field would likely direct hydrogen peroxide to the moon's higher latitudes.

Before the new James Webb analysis, hydrogen peroxide had not been discovered on Ganymede’s surface, although it was first observed on Europa decades ago.

On April 14, the European Space Agency launched its Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer probe on an eight-year journey to Jupiter and its moons. After initially orbiting Jupiter,Close-up observations from the JUICE probe, alongside continued analysis by state-of-the-art observatories like James Webb, will help us better understand the gas giant's icy moons and their role in our solar system.
