NASA's Juno spacecraft beamed back stunning new images of Jupiter's moons Io and Europa.
The Juno mission captured Jupiter's southern hemisphere, with two of its many moons to the right of the frame, during the spacecraft's 39th close flyby of the planet on January 12, 2022, NASA said.

At the time of taking the image, the Juno spacecraft was about 61,000 km from Jupiter's cloud tops, at a latitude of about 52 degrees south.
The image was created by citizen scientist Andrea Luck using raw data from the JunoCam instrument, NASA said.
Io is the Solar System's most volcanic body, while Europa's icy surface hides a global ocean of liquid water beneath.
During this fly-by, the probe will use several of its scientific instruments to study Europa in greater detail and capture even more stunning views of the mysterious moon.
