New Delhi: Probe Space Juno NASA captured the first two images of Ganymede Jupiter in his closest approach to the moon on June 7. June traveled at 66,800 km per hour to come within a distance of about 1,000 km from the surface of the Ganymede, becoming the nearest spacecraft that had come Ganymede since Galileo did it in 2000.
NASA released Juno’s first two photos on June 8, showing a Ganymede crater, the possibility of tectonic and dark and dark terrain which was very detailed.
Junocam, a visible-light camera, captured almost the whole side of the Ganymede, with a resolution of 1 km per pixel using a green filter. For now, pictures are black and white. Junocam also takes pictures through red and blue filters. Experts will later combine three primary colors to produce colorful images. The camera program is part of NASA’s outreach efforts, because the operation is determined by public opinion.
According to Space.com, the Junokam team will create raw metadata from the imager available in the public domain, and which citizen scientists can be processed as desired and shared with the Junokam community.
