The Moon, Venus, and Jupiter Will Stage One of May’s Best Evening Sky Shows

A young crescent Moon will reappear after new phase and move through the western dusk sky on May 17 and May 18.
The Moon passes within 3 degrees of Venus on May 19 and within 3 degrees of Jupiter on May 20.
Mercury and Comet C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS add extra interest for observers with clear horizons.

Small Jupiter Trojans Are Not Following the Color Pattern Astronomers Expected

Researchers studied small Trojan asteroids using Subaru Telescope’s Suprime-Cam.
The smaller objects did not show the clear red and less-red split seen in larger Trojans.
The result adds a new puzzle to efforts to understand the early solar system.

Young Jupiter’s Magnetic Environment May Explain Why It Has More Large Moons Than Saturn

Researchers modeled young Jupiter and Saturn and their circumplanetary disks.
The study links moon-system differences to magnetic accretion and a magnetospheric cavity.
The model helps explain why Jupiter formed four large moons while Saturn is dominated by Titan.

This image shows the two auroral footprints in Jupiter's aurora borealis created by the moons Io and Europa. The JWST observed these footprints and provided the first spectral measurements. These showed extreme temperature and densities in Io's footprint, a big surprise to the researchers behind the work.

JWST Uncovers Puzzling Variability in Jupiter's Aurora

JWST captured first infrared spectra of Jupiter's moon-generated auroral bright spots
Io's auroral footprint shows extreme temperature and density variability on hourly timescales
Findings suggest Jupiter's magnetospheric dynamics are more complex than current models predict
