Images are coming back and being processed from our #JunoMission's early-morning flyby—the closest look at Jupiter's ice-encrusted moon in more than 20 years.
Here's what we're seeing so far. We'll be back with fully-processed images soon. go.nasa.gov/3UMeO5Y
ALT Jupiter's moon Europa, seen here in shades of brown and rust-red, marked by an extensive series of small craters and snaky lines. The terminator, or the line dividing night and day, is slightly to the left of center in this image; it curves across Europa in a left-facing arc, with the moon's features standing out in relief near its boundary. The rest of Europa is shrouded in night, with a small black arc near the far left where data was not included.
