Juno is set to flyby of Europa on Sept. 29, 2022 (PJ45)
I can't wait to see the results of this flyby! Sadly not much information is available online. Jason Has a beautiful animation of encounter on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9bx1GcoqEE...nel=volcanopele |

This is image PJ45_2:
The color is probably more accurate than the color in the 'quick and dirty' PJ45_1 image I posted yesterday. North is up. I have also seen small amounts of blue at Europa's limb but it is only present at maybe 10-20% of the limb (very rough guess). It's definitely not a real feature, the 'atmosphere' of Europa is far too thin to be visible, especially when the phase angle isn't very high. There are lots of ways for the color channels to get slightly misaligned as Mike pointed out. |
