The clearest in 20 years! Europa, one of Galileo’s four moons, was photographed by the Juno spacecraft.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA The sharpest picture in 20 years has been published “Moon Europa” It discovered one of the 4 moons of Jupiter Galileo Galilei Taken with a camera in 1609The Juno spacecraft It orbited near Europa at a distance of 352 km from its surface, making it the first spacecraft to orbit closest to its surface. It can also capture high-definition images from the surface at an altitude of 1,500 km


High-definition images sent back to Earth from the Juno spacecraft show cracks in Europa’s ice sheets and will help scientists study ice cracks. Color and mineral properties to understand the ocean beneath the ice sheet. Scientists hypothesize that the liquid beneath the star’s surface could be home to extraterrestrial life.


This moon is one of the main targets of scientists looking for extraterrestrial life. Because data from photographs and probes confirm that there is a thin atmosphere. It is also hypothesized that a large ocean may have formed beneath the oxygen ice sheet on most ice-covered surfaces. Scientists also hypothesize that the liquid beneath the star’s surface could be home to extraterrestrial life.

The Juno spacecraft
Since 2011, the Juno spacecraft has left Earth on a carrier rocket and reached Jupiter in 2016 on a mission to explore Jupiter. The largest planet in the solar system

4 moons discovered by Galileo Galilei
AndEuropa is the moonOne of Jupiter’s moons, it is one of the four moons discovered Galileo Galilei The other three stars are in 2152 Oh Ganymede And Callisto This moon is also the largest moon. About 3,000 km in diameter, it has a rarefied atmosphere that is mostly oxygen. This very smooth, icy surface contains cracks and fine lines. This smooth, fresh surface with very few craters has led to the hypothesis that an ocean lies beneath that could be home to alien life.
