The star-tracker camera aboard NASAs Juno spacecraft captured this view of Jupiters faint rings on Aug. 27, 2016, during the probes first data-gathering close approach to the giant planet. Its the first-ever view of the rings from inside of them. The bright star above the main ring is Betelgeuse, and Orions belt can be seen in the lower right.
Detail is amazing. So many films and games have gas giants with fuzzy atmospheres and cotton like clouds but this is so much more detailed. Breathtaking.
What kind of tech can send pictures all the way from jupiter?
Such a bright star. This really shows how far Jupiter is from Earth... And I didn't even know that Jupiter had an asteroid ring.
