NASA’s Juno mission captured this look at the southern hemisphere of Jupiter on Feb. 17, 2020, during one of the spacecraft’s close approaches to the giant planet.
NASA’s Juno mission completed its 50th close pass by Jupiter on April 8, 2023. Since the spacecraft arrived at the giant planet in 2016, its JunoCam imager has captured spectacular views of Jupiter, and its large moons Ganymede , Europa , and Io .
ESA - Juice: running on solar power in the dark
Welcome to Jupiter space: to one side looms the vast cloudy face of the largest planet in our Solar System; in the other appears a shrunken Sun, like a spotlight in the sky, with just 3% of the illumination from Earth orbit arriving here.
It was possible in theory. In the previous decade, ESA's solar-powered Rosetta mission had ventured out to the distance of Jupiter orbit on its mission to rendezvous with a comet – but it had to enter almost total hibernation over 31 months to conserve scarce power.
Tesla Solar receives blow from revised incentives in California

While Tesla’s energy products, particularly its commercial Megapack system, dominate the field , the same cannot be said for its residential solar systems, which have faced an uphill battle in the highly competitive market .
