It is the third approach to the moon Europa at a distance of less than 500 km in history, according to NASA. It is the closest photograph of the moon Europa ever recorded by a spacecraft since January 3, 2000, when NASA’s Galileo spacecraft approached the surface of Europa at a distance of 351 km.
Europa is the sixth largest moon in the solar system, slightly smaller than the Earth’s moon. Scientists think there is an ocean of salt water underneath miles of ice crust. This could be a condition that favors the existence of life below the surface.
