However, NASA says this image, above, is the highest-resolution photo that Juno has ever taken of a specific portion of Europa’s surface and it was taken by another camera, the Stellar Reference Unit , a star camera used to orient the spacecraft. The image covers about 150 kilometers by 200 km of Europa’s surface, revealing a region crisscrossed with a network of fine grooves and double ridges .
The SRU has a resolution that ranges from 256 to 340 meters per pixel, and the image was captured as Juno raced past at about 24 km per second over a part of the surface that was in nighttime, dimly lit by “Jupiter shine” – sunlight reflecting off Jupiter’s cloud tops.
