Jupiter and Ganymede Flyby: June 2021

[John]

With Jupiter now starting to be on show at a more reasonable hour here in the UK I think it is an apt time to post this NASA video of the Juno spaceship flyby of Ganymede and Jupiter last month. Music by Vangelis. Breathtaking imagery

As one of the comments on the movie says, what would Galileo have made of this !

That is incredible! 

But yes, wouldn't it be interesting to sit down with Galileo today, and show him what there is to see!

I have the feeling, the words he would mutter just might make the Pope angry with him, again.
