NASA’s Juno spacecraft has been in orbit around Jupiter for just over five years. Some of the goals of the spacecraft are to measure the planet’s composition and gravitational field strength. Tons of data has been sent back down to Earth, including some insights into Jupiter’s sprites, elves, and incredible colors. Now, it’s sent back images of the closest flyby in its history.
NASA has converted those images into some awe-inspiring animation for all to enjoy.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory created the stunning animation and shared it to NASA’s YouTube channel. The video’s description notes that on June 7th and 8th of this year, Juno flew closer to Jupiter’s ice-encrusted moon Ganymede than any spacecraft in more than two decades. The animation consists of images that the space probe captured on those particular dates.
