The highest-resolution photo NASA\u2019s Juno mission has ever taken of a specific portion of Jupiter\u2019s moon Europa reveals a detailed view of a puzzling region of the moon\u2019s heavily fractured icy crust.<\/p>\n

The image covers about 93 miles (150 kilometers) by 125 miles (200 kilometers) of Europa\u2019s surface, revealing a region crisscrossed with a network of fine grooves and\u00a0double ridges<\/a>\u00a0(pairs of long parallel lines indicating elevated features in the ice). Near the upper right of the image, as well as just to the right and below center, are dark stains possibly linked to something from below erupting onto the surface. Below center and to the right is a surface feature that recalls a musical quarter note, measuring 42 miles (67 kilometers) north-south by 23 miles (37 kilometers) east-west. The white dots in the image are signatures of penetrating high-energy particles from the severe radiation environment around the moon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
