The first image of Jupiter's cold satellite taken by NASA spacecraft shocked scientists. The Juno spacecraft took four Europa photos while flying the moon, which were released Thursday.

This is the best and closest observation of Europa in 20 years. The frozen moon is believed to flow the ocean under its cold crust, which increases the possibility of alien life.

Scientists say the mission was successful and they also hope to find potential water droplets on the surface of Europa , but the initial search was no results. Scott Bolton of the Southwest Institute of San Antonio said: " we have to be in the right place at the right time."

NASA's deputy mission director deputy mission director , said John Boldy, said the spacecraft is expected to move rapidly at a relative speed of nearly 15 miles per second. The latest observations of Europa will help the Space Agency plan the Europa Clippers mission, which will be launched in 2024 and arrive at the Jupiter system in 2030.

Despite the impressive speed of Juno, the Europa satellite flight record was maintained by NASA's former Galileo spacecraft, which passed in 2000 within 218 miles. Europa's icy ocean is believed to be about 15 miles, and previous studies have confirmed the presence of water and oxygen on it. surface, and chemical substances that can be used as nutrients.

As scientists were unable to confirm how oxygen crossed the frozen crust, a team created a model they thought it was possible. The team believes that salt water in the frozen crust can transport oxygen through ice barriers.

British professor Monica Grady previously said that humans are more likely to discover alien life on Europa than on Mars . " I think we have a better chance to find a slightly superior form of life on Europa," she said.
