Mysterious Europa Gets an Extreme Closeup From NASA's Juno Probe - by b0yle
Candy Hansen, a mission co-investigator who’s in charge of JunoCam planning at the Planetary Science Institute, said the new imagery will give scientists a better idea of what’s bubbling up on Europa.
“The science team will be comparing the full set of images obtained by Juno with images from previous missions, looking to see if Europa’s surface features have changed over the past two decades,” Hansen said. “The JunoCam images will fill in the current geologic map, replacing existing low-resolution coverage of the area.”— could point to areas where Europa’s surface ice is thinner, and where liquid water may exist in shallow subsurface pockets.
