Details of Europa 🧊 During #JunoMission’s flyby of Jupiter's moon last week, its Stellar Reference Unit (SRU) camera imaged this closeup of Europa’s fractured, icy surface. SRU helps orient Juno but has also proven itself to be a valuable science tool. https://t.co/R6xS3wlGXI https://t.co/2bSS0vlmtA

To explore the solar system, we first have to learn how to operate on the Moon. Astronauts will need to identify interesting surface features, and they'll need to use special tools. See how they're learning to be Moon field geologists in this episode of "NASA Explorers." https://t.co/D4lDEa8eDv

This black-and-white photo covers ~93 miles (150 km) by ~125 miles (200 km) of Europa’s surface, revealing an area covered in grooves & ridges. Dark stains may possibly be linked to something erupting from below the icy crust. Stay tuned for more photos from this milestone flyby
