Origin of Long‐Wavelength Variations in Crustal Thickness on Rocky Planets
Abstract Long‐wavelength crustal thickness variations are observed on telluric planets, particularly on Mars and the Moon whereas Mercury appears to lack such variations. They may stem from two early‐stage positive feedback mechanisms that can emerge in stagnant‐lid planets.

Controls on Solar Wind Entry Identified Through Wind–ACE Heavy‐Ion Diagnostics
Abstract Solar wind (SW) entry into the magnetosphere occurs through several mechanisms, but their dependence on the properties of different ion species is unknown. We compare measurements from Wind‐STICS (magnetosphere) with ACE‐SWICS (L1) to test for any preferential entry between He2+ and SW heavy ions.

Electron Shot Noise on a Current Biased Antenna
Abstract The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) Fields Experiment (FIELDS) uses Radio Frequency Spectrometer (RFS) data and Quasi‐Thermal Noise Spectroscopy (QTN) to determine the temperature and density of electrons in the heliosphere. The FIELDS antennas typically operate with a negative bias current.

Corundum Discovered by SuperCam and the Perseverance Rover at Jezero Crater, Mars
Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks.

Updated Interior Structure of Callisto From a Reanalysis of Galileo Data
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
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.

A GEO‐LEO Imager Data Set for Characterizing Rapid Changes of Global Aerosol Properties
Abstract Aerosols, the ubiquitous small particulates in our atmosphere, have climate, air quality, and/or other impacts far from their original sources. The Dark Target Algorithm (DTA), originally developed for retrieving aerosol properties from satellite imagers in Low‐Earth Orbit (LEO), has been ported to imagers in Geostationary (GEO) orbit. Using a

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

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.

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 ...
