NASA's Juno Captures Rare Images of Jupiter's Tiny Moon Amalthea

New photos reveal Amalthea, the reddest object in the solar system, during Juno's 59th close flyby of Jupiter.

Juno's images show Amalthea transiting Jupiter's Great Red Spot from 265,000 km away.
Amalthea, discovered in 1892, is a potato-shaped moon with dimensions of 250 x 146 x 128 km.
The moon emits more heat than it receives from the Sun, likely due to electric currents or tidal stresses.
Juno's mission, ongoing since 2016, has provided unprecedented views of Jupiter and its moons.
Citizen scientists processed the raw images from JunoCam, enhancing their clarity and detail.
