2021 Juno Spacecraft Jupiter's Moon Ganymede Close Approach JPL Pasadena 7 June

Description: Juno Jupiter Moon GanymedeClose Approach 2021 Offering a cover serviced for the 'Juno' Jupiter spacecraft Close Approach to Jupiter's Moon Ganymede, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Cancelled Pasadena CA 7-June-2021. The first two images from NASA Juno's June 7, 2021, flyby of Jupiter's giant moon Ganymede have been received on Earth. The photos - one from the Jupiter orbiter's JunoCam imager and the other from its Stellar Reference Unit star camera - show the surface in remarkable detail, including craters, clearly distinct dark and bright terrain, and long structural features possibly linked to tectonic faults."This is the closest any spacecraft has come to this mammoth moon in a generation," said Juno Principal Investigator Scott Bolton of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. "We are going to take our time before we draw any scientific conclusions, but until then we can simply marvel at this celestial wonder." Using its green filter, the spacecraft's JunoCam visible-light imager captured almost an entire side of the water-ice-encrusted moon. Later, when versions of the same image come down incorporating the camera's red and blue filters, imaging experts will be able to provide a color portrait of Ganymede. Image resolution is about 0.6 miles (1 kilometer) per pixel.
