Updated Interior Structure of Callisto From a Reanalysis of Galileo Data

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract The internal structure of Callisto has been a long‐standing question since the Galileo mission. Previous analyses suggested a largely undifferentiated interior. We present an updated interior structure for Callisto derived from a reanalysis of Galileo's Doppler tracking data using new signal processing techniques.

Detecting an Ocean Inside Callisto With Geodetic Measurements From Europa Clipper and Juice

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Determining whether Callisto hosts a subsurface ocean, and the implications for material and energy transport through its hydrosphere, is of high interest to NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's Juice missions. A recent reanalysis of Galileo magnetometer data strengthens the ocean hypothesis, but definitive confirmation awaits new measurements.

Large (∼80 km) Shield Volcanoes on the Moon Possibly Fed by Shallow Magma Reservoirs

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Large shield volcanoes are among the most prominent volcanic structures on terrestrial bodies. The Moon, while volcanically very active in the past and hosting various volcanic features, seems to lack such large shield volcanoes. Here, we report the identification of two lunar volcanic domes (Prinz‐Harbinger and Theophilus) with diameters ...

Magnetic Field Disturbance Induced by the Enhanced Suprathermal Ring Current in the Magnetosphere of Saturn

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Saturn's ring current, which modulates the global magnetic field configuration, varies dynamically with hot plasma injections. However, quantifying transient magnetic field disturbances remains challenging in the absence of in situ measurements on Saturn's surface.

Discrete Energy Bands Beyond Galilean Moons: Bounce‐Phase Structuring of Jovian Magnetospheric Particles

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Discrete energy bands of ion fluxes, typically organized in velocity with equal separations, have been frequently observed in Jupiter's magnetosphere either in association with Galilean moons or in regions far from their influence. Here, we focus on the latter type and propose that these bands are manifestations of bounce‐phase structuring ...

Lunar Dayside Surface Potentials in the Terrestrial Magnetotail Inferred From Comparing Observed and Modeled Photoelectrons

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract As an airless body, the lunar surface is charged as a result of balancing electric currents into and away from the surface. Lunar surface charging is important for both scientific and human‐exploration purposes. The nightside surface charging has been well characterized by previous studies, but less so for the dayside.

Remote Sensing During the 2025 Los Angeles Wildfires

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract The January 2025 Los Angeles County wildfires burned more than 50,000 acres, destroyed more than 16,000 structures, and caused 31 deaths. This Commentary examines how NASA's Disasters Program coordinated with response organizations to deliver 22 satellite and airborne products during the fires, even as the Eaton Fire forced the Jet Propulsion ...
