Efeméride: 11 de abril de 1979.

La sonda Voyager 1 realiza su primera aproximación cercana a Júpiter, enviando imágenes inéditas y datos clave sobre el planeta y sus lunas. Un hito en la exploración del sistema solar.

ICYMI: Did you know planets without tectonic plates still experience "earthquakes"? It's fascinating how seismic activity works across our solar system.

#Venus has volcanic tremors, while #Mars quakes as its core cools. #Jupiter's moon Io is our favorite example—with 400 active volcanoes, it's constantly shaking from Jupiter's immense gravitational forces pulling on its crust.

ICYMI: The #physics of #Earth's tides connects our everyday beach experiences to the cosmic dance of celestial bodies. This TED-Ed #animation explains how the #Moon and #Sun's gravitational pull creates those rhythmic rises and falls of #ocean #water we observe.

What's fascinating is how these same tidal forces work across our solar system—squeezing and stretching #Jupiter and #Saturn's moons, creating hidden oceans beneath Europa's icy shell, and even powering Io's volcanoes.

Not only #JUPITER is running fast – also our large JSC team at the 61. BSG Frühjahrslauf (on 4.4.) and a smaller group today at the half marathon and 10k distances of Deutsche Post Marathon Bonn

#Jupiter and Ring in #Infrared from #Webb

Jupiter's rings, discovered by Voyager 1 in 1979, are formed by meteoroid impacts on small moons like Metis, ejecting dust into orbit. The James Webb Space #Telescope's infrared image captures these rings, Jupiter's clouds, the Great Red Spot, #moon Europa, and its shadow. Some features remain a mystery.

New paper published about tfQMRgpu – a library to run electronic structure calculations on modern supercomputers.

It allows to execute the calculations on supercomputers with GPUs such as JUWELS Booster and soon #JUPITER.
