NASA's Juno Spacecraft Images Big Dipper Full Resolution: TIFF (432.1 kB) JPEG (5.656 kB) 2012-09-17: Juno: 1920x1080x3: PIA16117: Juno Fires its Main Engine ...
30 ott 2023 · This enhanced image of the Jovian moon Ganymede was obtained by the JunoCam imager aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft during the mission’s June 7, 2021, flyby of the icy moon. Data from that pass has been used to detect the presence of salts and organics on Ganymede. This look at the complex surface of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede came from NASA ...
14 dic 2022 · NASA’s Juno mission is scheduled to obtain images of the Jovian moon Io on Dec. 15 as part of its continuing exploration of Jupiter’s inner moons. Now in the second year of its extended mission to investigate the interior of Jupiter, the solar-powered spacecraft performed a close flyby of Ganymede in 2021 and of Europa earlier this year.
9 nov 2023 · Gravity data collected by NASA’s Juno mission indicates Jupiter’s atmospheric winds penetrate the planet in a cylindrical manner, parallel to its spin axis. A paper on the findings was recently published in the journal Nature Astronomy. The violent nature of Jupiter’s roiling atmosphere has long been a source of fascination for ...
28 ott 2021 · Juno’s microwave radiometer (MWR) allows mission scientists to peer beneath Jupiter’s cloud tops and probe the structure of its numerous vortex storms. The most famous of these storms is the iconic anticyclone known as the Great Red Spot. Wider than Earth, this crimson vortex has intrigued scientists since its discovery almost two centuries ...
The first picture NASA’s Juno spacecraft took as it flew by Jupiter’s ice-encrusted moon Europa has arrived on Earth. Revealing surface features in a region near the moon’s equator called Annwn Regio, the image was captured during the solar-powered spacecraft’s closest approach, on Thursday, Sept. 29, at 2:36 a.m. PDT (5:36 a.m. EDT), at a distance of about 219 miles (352 kilometers).
The Gravity Science experiment will enable Juno to measure Jupiter’s gravitational field and reveal the planet’s internal structure. Juno will see how the material inside Jupiter churns and flows, helping to determine whether the planet harbors a dense core at its center. Investigation lead: William Folkner, JPL.
