Watch NASA’s Juno probe Fly Past Ganymede
Last month NASA’s Juno spacecraft approached Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, closer than any probe in more than twenty years.
Shortly after the spacecraft had its 34th flyby of Jupiter, traveling from pole to pole and recording the gas giant’s turbulent atmosphere.
Utilizing imagery captured by the probe’s JunoCam, mission researchers stitched together an animation they call the “starship captain” point of view of Ganymede and Jupiter.
The footage shows in stunning detail the ice-encrusted moon’s dark and light regions as well as the Tros crater scar.
“The animation shows just how beautiful deep space exploration can be,” said Juno Principal Investigator Scott Bolton.

Heretic says – “animation means fake.” The statement means “a closed mind.” Sounds like the muttering of a flat Earther. I was amazed, personally, at the geometric shapes in the Moon’s surface, as well as in the storms. As for Itsme, it’s only boring to a mind that can’t see beauty and wonder about it. You are probably right about the movie 2001, but there is no comparison between this presentation and a movie that is based in the interactions of humans and robots.
