Jupiter, Io, and Europa in One Photo Taken by NASA's Juno Spacecraft

It looks like Juno has caught her husband cheating again. This time with two women at once!

All mythological jokes aside (let’s get real this amazing yet lowkey funny instance was just the opening for a cheesy joke), there is no cheating involved. This is merely a great feat of technological advancement and scientific prowess. 

NASA’s Juno is a spacecraft dedicated to orbiting Jupiter and observing the happenings within the planet and its nearby celestial neighbors. The orbiter was able to capture an image of the planet and its two moons nearby in just one photo! 

The two moons seem to be very far from Jupiter, as the spacecraft was flying closer to the planet at 8,000 miles (61,000 kilometers). Regardless, this rare photo is still amazing! 

The image was processed by scientist Andrea Luck using the data from the JunoCam instrument, which captured the photograph.
