Space exploration by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Juno has shown another photo taken from the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa.
This is stated in the press release of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), according to Ukrinform reports.
“The highest resolution photograph ever taken by NASA’s Juno mission, part of Jupiter’s moon Europa, shows a detailed view of a spectacular region of the moon’s highly fractured icy crust,” the statement said.
It is stated that the image covers an area of 200 kilometers to about 150 kilometers of the European surface.
There are dark spots in the upper right corner of the photo, right and lower center, which may be related to something erupting from below to the surface.
To the right of center is a surface that resembles a note, 67 kilometers from north to south and 37 kilometers from east to west.
The white dots in the image are signs of the intrusion of high-energy particles from the high-radiation environment around Europa.
As reported by Ukrinform on September 29, the space probe of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Juno took the picture and got as close as possible to Europa, the moon of the planet Jupiter, from a distance of about 352 kilometers. of the object.
