The large crater is distinguished by its bright white topography and “tall structural features” The agency said in a statement issued on Tuesday Possibly ‘linked to tectonic faults’
Images were taken using the JunoCam imager orbiting Jupiter and the Stellar Reference Unit Star Camera.
Visible light photographer JunoCam used his green filter to capture almost the entire side of the icy moon; The red and blue filters will be used by the imaging expert to create color images later.
The Stellar Reference Unit’s navigation camera produces a black and white image of the dark side of Ganymede as it glows in the diffused light from Jupiter.
Juno will post more photos of Ganymede in the next few days and Solar powered The spacecraft’s work is expected to provide researchers with “information about their composition, ionosphere, magnetosphere, and ice shells” as well as measurements of the radioactive environment.
“This is the closest spacecraft to this giant moon in a generation,” said Scott Bolton, Juno’s principal investigator, in a statement. “We will take our time before drawing any scientific conclusions, but until then we can marvel at this heavenly wonder.”
The Juno mission is part of the Marshall Space Flight Center’s New Frontier program and is operated for the Science Mission Directorate in Washington, DC.
This dark side image of Ganymede was obtained by the Stellar Juno Reference Module navigation camera during its flyby over the moon on June 7, 2021.

The probe was proposed in 2003, launched in 2011 and first reached Jupiter on July 4, 2016. Its main mission will be completed in July.
in January, NASA announced Juno’s mission will be extended, his research said The biggest planet in the solar system – Jovian system is complete until September 2025.
“Since its first orbit in 2016, Juno has been providing revelation after revelation about the inner workings of this gas giant,” Bolton said. With Extended Mission, we will answer the fundamental questions that arise during the main Juno mission as we go beyond a planet to explore Jupiter’s ring system and the Galilean satellites. . “
