AI Summary
New James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that Callisto, Jupiter’s least studied Galilean moon, exhibits more activity than previously thought. Using the telescope’s Near‑Infrared Spectrograph, an international team led by Maria Camarca captured spectra of the moon’s trailing hemisphere, the large Asgard impact basin, and the central region of the Valhalla multi‑ring structure.
