Astronomers using the Dark Energy Camera in Chile have discovered 12 previously unknown moons around Jupiter. The team have been searching for bodies at the edge of the solar system and early last year were scanning an area overlapped by Jupiter. By readjusting their instruments, the scientists were also able to scan the space around Jupiter and subsequently found around two dozen previously unknown bodies, thought to be Jovian satellites.
Images from the Cassini probe show plasme interactions between Saturn's moon Enceladus and its rings, showing that the two celestial bodies form an electric circuit. NASA researchers converted the recording of the plasma waves as they moved between Saturn and Enceladus and produced this audio file.
