Jupiter's Moon Ganymede
#sagittarius #space #science #moon What does the largest moon in the Solar System look like? Jupiter's moon Ganymede, larger than even Mercury and Pluto, has an icy surface speckled with bright young craters overlying a mixture of older, darker, more cratered terrain laced with grooves and ridges. The cause of the grooved terrain remains a topic of research, with a leading hypothesis relating it to shifting ice plates. Ganymede is thought to have an ocean layer that contains more water than Earth, and might contain life. Like Earth's Moon, Ganymede keeps the same face towards its central planet, in this case Sagittarius's ruling planet Jupiter. This image was captured in 2021 by NASA's robotic Juno spacecraft when it passed by the immense moon. The close pass reduced Juno's orbital period around Jupiter from 53 days to 43 days. Juno continues to study the giant planet's high gravity, unusual magnetic field, and complex cloud structures. Juno is expected to continue its investigation of Jupiter until September 2025.

Coffee.
The amount I have consumed today is probably the only reason my heart is besting. Awfully erratic but it's there. I have got to stop having anxiety about these long weeks. #work #life #anxiety #coffee
