An international team of scientists, including from India, has discovered strong evidence indicating the presence of ozone on Jupiter’s moon Callisto, shedding light on the complex chemical processes taking place on icy celestial bodies in the Solar System.
Ozone discovery on Jupiter's moon Callisto offers insights into the chemical processes occurring on icy celestial bodies within the Solar System, highlighting the complexity of their composition and evolution.
The presence of ozone indicates the interaction of sulphur dioxide (SO2) ice with ultraviolet radiation, emphasizing the role of solar irradiation in shaping the surface chemistry of moons like Callisto.
Understanding the chemical environment and processes on Callisto enhances our knowledge of planetary bodies beyond Earth, contributing to broader research into astrobiology and the potential for habitability in our solar neighborhood.
