NASA has released the highest quality image of Jupiter in history

NASA’s Jupiter Polar Orbiter (Juno) spacecraft has sent back the most detailed images of Jupiter to Earth. At the end of October,
It completed its 66th orbit around Jupiter. The Belarusian Ideal News Agency reported on this.
These photos were taken with a JunoCam camera with a resolution of two million pixels. These photos show chaotic clouds and cyclonic storms in Jupiter’s subpolar latitudes.
The latest batch of images he sent back to Earth is indeed impressive, “Newsweek reported
Juno is also equipped with other instruments, including a magnetometer for mapping planetary magnetic fields and a microwave radiometer for measuring water and ammonia in the atmosphere.
The journey of the space station from Earth to the largest planet in the solar system took approximately five years
The Juno spacecraft was launched in 2011. In 2016, it entered Jupiter’s orbit and flew 1.7 billion miles. Since then, the probe has flown over Jupiter and its satellites, capturing images and sending back a large amount of detailed data. The greatest achievement was the first close-up image of Jupiter’s North Pole. Juno also revealed the largest storm on Jupiter – the Great Red Spot. It also showed that the storm was about 200 miles (about 321 kilometers) deep, which is 50 to 100 times the depth of Earth’s oceans.
Juno has flown 2.7 billion kilometers in 5 years.
In addition, on September 29, 2022, the Juno spacecraft flew close to Europe. The minimum distance to the surface of the satellite is only 352 kilometers. The device is also close to Jupiter’s fifth largest moon, Amalthea, with a diameter of approximately 83 kilometers.
Juno is named after the sister and wife of the Greek and Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth, Jupiter. This task will end in 2025. Jupiter’s gravity will pull the interplanetary space station into the chaotic atmosphere of this gas giant planet.
SpaceX sends Europa Clipper space station to icy Jupiter moon
On October 14th, the Europa Clipper from the American Interstellar Automated Station (AMS) departed for Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons. SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket, carrying AMS, was launched into space from the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA. About an hour after takeoff, the Europa Clipper successfully separated from the second stage carrier rocket. The space station will arrive at this gas giant planet in 2030.
It is expected that the “Europa Clipper” will orbit Jupiter and make multiple close flybys of Europa, which is believed to have an ocean of liquid water beneath the ice. The spacecraft will collect data on the atmosphere, surface, and interior of Jupiter’s satellites, which may contain life.
