The image was taken at a distance of about 256 miles (412 kilometers) over the night side of Europa in a region dimly illuminated by Jupiter-shine. It is Juno's highest resolution image of the moon, at 840 to 1,115 feet per pixel (256 to 340 meters per pixel) and covers about 93 by 125 miles (150 by

Just below center and to the right is a surface feature that members of the Juno science team refer to as "the Platypus." This location of surface disruption (called "chaos" in the field of planetary science) measures 42 miles (67 kilometers) north-south and 23 miles (37 kilometers) east-west. (The

The image shows a region crisscrossed with a network of fine grooves and sets of complicated double ridges (pairs of long parallel lines indicating elevated features in the ice). In the upper right corner are dark stains possibly linked to cryovolcanic plume activity (the bubbling up of liquid from

The SRU collects images of star fields to provide star positions used for attitude determination. Designed for low-light conditions, the camera has proved itself a valuable science tool, discovering shallow lightning in Jupiter's atmosphere, imaging the planet's enigmatic ring system, and now

This black-and-white image of Europa's surface was taken by the Stellar Reference Unit (SRU) aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft during a Sept. 29, 2022, flyby of the Jovian moon.
