Juno Sends Back Bizarre Photos of Jupiter's Moon Europa
Arthur C. Clarke warned us away from Jupiter's moon Europa in his novel 2010: Odyssey Two, and in the movie made of it. But NASA's Juno probe went there anyway. No, it didn't land, but the probe was sent on a side journey away from Jupiter, which it had been orbiting since 2016, to take a closer look at the moons that revolve around it. Scientists are intrigued by Europa, because it may have liquid salt water underneath its frozen surface. In fact, it is the most likely place for life outside of earth in our solar system. Juno came down to 256 miles from Europa's surface to take this image.
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.Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS#space #Jupiter #Juno #Io #Europa #moons #photography #NASA
