TL;DR Summary

Airbus has released a stunning image of Jupiter and its largest moon, Ganymede, captured by the Pleiades Neo satellite, which was built to observe Earth in detail. The satellite is capable of providing images of Earth with a 4-inch resolution and can also take beautiful visuals of other planets in the solar system. The release of the images came two days before the planned launch of Europe's Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE), a flagship scientific mission that will study Jupiter and its moons up close.
