Team led by PRL Ahmedabad finds ozone on Jupiter’s moon Callisto.
Key Points about findings:
- The study focused on the chemical processes and composition of Callisto’s surface.
- Analysis of UV absorption spectra of irradiated ice samples revealed a distinct signature indicating the formation of ozone.
- Researchers compared their findings with data from the Hubble Space Telescope to gain insights into Callisto’s environment and assess the potential habitability of icy moons in the Solar System.
- Significance:
- The discovery of ozone on Callisto suggests the presence of oxygen, which in turn is a fundamental ingredient required for required for life.
- It could help us to understand the precise mechanisms that led to the formation of Jupiter and its moons.
