"Juno spacecraft detects potential activity on Jupiter's moon Europa"

NASA's Juno spacecraft captured high-resolution images of Jupiter's moon Europa during a close flyby, revealing potential hints of present-day surface activity, including an oddly-shaped area resembling a platypus. Comparison with earlier images suggests changes in the southern part of the area, hinting at potential surface activity. The image also includes nearby low-albedo deposits associated with subsurface liquid water, possibly linked to water plumes. While not conclusive, these findings make Europa a compelling target for future missions such as NASA’s Europa Clipper and Europe's JUICE to investigate and confirm present-day surface activity.
