NASA IS ABOUT TO BUZZ EUROPA: For the first time in more than 20 years, NASA is about to buzz Europa. On Sept. 29th, the Juno spacecraft will fly only 222 miles above the frozen surface of Jupiter’s ocean moon looking for new fissures and plumes of water vapor. Of special interest is an area of chaos terrain called “Annwn Regio,” which will be right under Juno’s cameras. Full story @ Spaceweather.com

Here’s a sample! Got to site to see the full resolution images.

This enhanced-color image of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot was created by citizen scientist Kevin Gill using data from the JunoCam imager on NASA’s Juno spacecraft.

The image was taken on July 10, 2017 at 07:07 p.m. PDT (10:07 p.m. EDT), as the Juno spacecraft performed its 7th close flyby of Jupiter. At the time the image was taken, the spacecraft was about 6,130 miles (9,866 kilometers) from the tops of the clouds of the planet.
