NASA's Juno spacecraft started orbiting Jupiter today after a 5 year journey from Earth. During its approach, the spacecraft captured a series of photos over the span of multiple weeks, showing the planet's moons in orbit. NASA then turned the images into the epic time-lapse seen in the 3-minute video above.
Need a bit more awe and wonder in your life? Look no further than the newest image released by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. A high-res reprocessed color view of Jupiter's moon Europa as captured by the spacecraft Galileo in the late 1990s, the photo "shows the largest portion of the moon's surface at the highest resolution."
