Juno Flyby of Ganymede and Jupiter

What would it be love to hover over the largest moon in the Solar System? In June, the robotic Juno spacecraft flew past Jupiter’s enormous moon Ganymede and took photos that had been digitally constructed real into a detailed flyby. As the featured video begins, Juno swoops over the two-toned surface of the two,000-km huge moon, revealing an frosty alien panorama stuffed with grooves and craters. The grooves are possible brought about by transferring surface plates, whereas the craters are brought about by violent impacts. Continuing on in its orbit, Juno then conducted its 34th close circulate over Jupiter’s clouds. The digitally-constructed video shows quite lots of swirling clouds in the north, vivid planet-circling zones and bands one day of the middle — that contains several white-oval clouds from the String of Pearls, and sooner or later extra swirling clouds in the south. Next September, Juno is scheduled to supply a close circulate over one more of Jupiter’s suited moons: Europa.
