Latest footage of Jupiter's moons

04/08/2021

NASA's Juno satellite has been observing Jupiter and its moons since July 2016. On June 7, 2021, Juno was only about 1,038 km away from Ganymede - the largest moon in the solar system. In the past two decades, no satellite has been able to approach this moon so closely.

NASA's latest video lets viewers experience the universe from the perspective of a spacecraft as it flies past Jupiter and its largest moon. The images of Jupiter and Ganymede are projected in a spherical format and then edited in post-production to create movement.

The images show bright and dark patches as well as impact craters on Ganymede. Shortly after capturing images of Ganymede, Juno also flew past Jupiter for 3 hours.

Ganymede is Jupiter's largest natural satellite and the largest moon in the Solar System. It is even larger than Pluto, which was once considered a planet. Ganymede orbits Jupiter every just over 7 days.
