The Juno spacecraft, which orbits Jupiter, has been imaging the giant planets moon Europa and spotted apparent movement in its icy crust.

Europa's outer ice shell is not where it used to be, and new Juno images suggest it may be "free-floating across the moon

NASA's Juno mission has imaged Jupiter's intriguing moon Europa, a top target of habitability research due to its liquid water ocean beneath a thick icy crust.

During a close flyby of Europa, the Juno spacecraft was at an altitude of just 330 kilometers (220 miles) above the moons surface. It caught some awesome images, too.

These are the first high-resolution shots of Jupiters moon since the Galileo flyby in 2000.

Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 16, 2024 - NASAs Juno spacecraft has provided high-definition images of Jupiters moon Europa, supporting the theory that the icy crust at the poles has shifted. A new image shows signs of potential plume act

Europa's outer ice shell is not where it used to be, but instead may be free floating across the moon.

NASA's Juno probe made a close approach of Jupiter's moon Europa, finding possible proof of present day surface activity.
