NASA’s spacecraft has sent back the clearest images of Jupiter yet!
The Juno spacecraft recently completed its 66th flyby of Jupiter and its moons, capturing breathtaking images with the JunoCam, a camera with a two-megapixel resolution. These images reveal jellyfish-like, colorful spots across Jupiter’s surface. Juno even got closer to Amalthea, Jupiter’s fifth-largest moon.
Launched in 2011, Juno reached Jupiter’s orbit five years later and began transmitting images of the largest planet in our Solar System and its moons. Juno’s mission is set to conclude on September 15, 2025, when Jupiter’s gravity will ultimately pull the spacecraft in, causing it to burn up in the gas giant’s atmosphere, according to NASA.
