Explanation:Approaching over the north pole after nearly a five-year journey, Juno enjoys a perspective on Jupiter not often seen, even by spacecraft from Earth that usually swing by closer to Jupiter’s equator. Looking down toward the ruling gas giant from a distance of 10.9 million kilometers, the spacecraft’s JunoCam captured this image with Jupiter’s nightside and orbiting entourage of four large Galilean moons on June 21. JunoCam is intended to provide close-up views of the gas giant’s cloudy zoned and belted atmosphere and on July 4 (July 5 UT) Juno is set to burn its main engine to slow down and be captured into its own orbit. If all goes well, it will be the first spacecraft to orbit the poles of Jupiter, skimming to within 5,000 kilometers of the Jovian cloud tops during the 20 month mission.

Ganymede Offering the Cup
In Greek mythology, Ganymede is a young shepherd renowned for his beauty. Zeus, transformed into an eagle, kidnapped him and installed him on Olympus to make him his lover. Zeus granted him the function of cupbearer to the gods, which he withdrew from Hebe, who had fallen awkwardly during a banquet.
This marble statue, made in 1804 by the Danish neoclassical sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, is currently kept at the Thorvaldsen Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark.
I made this statue from a free 3D model I found on the Internet. I reduced significantly the number of faces, built an UV map, normal map and other textures.
Happy Simming!

Jupiter’s four brightest moons | bosplanet
Credit:@tumblr / eruptedrainbowThe Galilean, Jupiter’s four brightest moons. The very first objects found to orbit another planet (Galileo 1610)
- Water World #Europa and its ancient oceans.
-#Io, the most volcanic world in the System.
-#Callisto, one of the largest and most heavily cratered satellites out there.
-#Ganymede, larger than planet Mercury and every other satellite in the game.If you have a good pair of binoculars or a small telescope, it’s fairly easy whenever Jupiter is visible to see the giant planet’s four largest moons. Oh btw, all four of them are bigger than Pluto.

Pluto and Outer Planet Satellites Montage
Explanation:Björn Jónsson’s montage comparing the best released New Horizons Pluto images so far to several outer planet satellites at similar resolution. This version of his image shows the bodies at approximately their correct relative albedos.

I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye
