Do we have pictures of Europa?

Europa “Ice Rafts” in Local and Color Context This color-enhanced image of Jupiter and two of its largest moons—Io and Europa—was captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it performed its eighth flyby of the gas giant planet.

Does NASA have pictures of Jupiter?

Hubble’s New Portrait of Jupiter This new Hubble Space Telescope view of Jupiter, taken on June 27, 2019, reveals the giant planet’s trademark Great Red Spot. Winds around Jupiter’s Great Red Spot are simulated in this JunoCam view that has been animated using a model of the winds there.

What does Jupiter’s moon Europa look like?

Slightly smaller than Earth’s Moon, Europa is primarily made of silicate rock and has a water-ice crust and probably an iron–nickel core. It has a very thin atmosphere, composed primarily of oxygen. Its surface is striated by cracks and streaks, but craters are relatively few.

Can we live Europa?

Europa’s surface is blasted by radiation from Jupiter. That’s a bad thing for life on the surface – it couldn’t survive. But the radiation may create fuel for life in an ocean below the surface. The radiation splits apart water molecules (H2O, made of oxygen and hydrogen) in Europa’s extremely tenuous atmosphere.

Can we land on Europa?

Landing sites At Europa, it would have to land on the surface, matching its velocity, but with essentially no atmosphere there is no “entry”, it is just a descent and landing. The Planetary Society noted that NASA called this DDL — de-orbit, descent, and landing.
