CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. \u2014 NASA\u2019s Juno spacecraft has provided the first close-ups of Jupiter\u2019s largest moon in two decades.<\/p>\n

Juno zoomed past icy Ganymede on Monday, passing within 645 miles (1,038 kilometers). The last time a spacecraft came that close was in 2000 when NASA\u2019s Galileo spacecraft swept past our solar system\u2019s biggest moon.<\/p>\n

NASA released Juno\u2019s first two pictures Tuesday, highlighting Ganymede\u2019s craters and long, narrow features possibly related to tectonic faults. One shows the moon\u2019s far side, opposite the sun.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the closest any spacecraft has come to this mammoth moon in a generation,\u201d said Juno\u2019s lead scientist, Scott Bolton of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. \u201cWe are going to take our time before we draw any scientific conclusions, but until then we can simply marvel at this celestial wonder \u2013 the only moon in our solar system bigger than the planet Mercury.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ganymede is one of 79 known moons around Jupiter, a gas giant. Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei discovered Ganymede in 1610, along with Jupiter\u2019s three next-biggest moons.<\/p>\n

Launched a decade ago, Juno has been orbiting Jupiter for five years.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
