🚀 NASA’s Juno mission continues to amaze us @BeyondEarthBuckleUp with breathtaking views of Jupiter! During its 59th close flyby on March 7, 2024, Juno captured incredible images of the giant planet's colorful belts, swirling storms, and the iconic Great Red Spot. But there’s more! These images also provide a rare glimpse of Amalthea, Jupiter’s tiny, potato-shaped moon, which orbits the planet in less than 12 hours. 🌑
🔴 Amalthea is not just any moon-it's the reddest object in the solar system and emits more heat than it receives from the Sun, possibly due to electric currents from Jupiter’s magnetic field or tidal stresses. Captured from 165,000 miles above Jupiter, these images were expertly processed by citizen scientist Gerald Eichstädt using raw data from JunoCam.
🎥 Join us as we explore the mysteries of Jupiter and its fascinating moons. Dive into this stunning footage, and discover the incredible phenomena of our solar system's largest planet!
