Episode 59 of #JupiterMoon the 1990s university-in-space soap. A mysterious bunch of supposed academics have appeared from nowhere and attempted to take over Columbus College to monetise its research. They appear to be pirates, or as we call them now, a Senior Management Team.

Episode 31 of #JupiterMoon, the space-campus soap from the 90s. The very expensive satellite campus (literally) Copernicus is adrift in space, a colossal waste of money and lives. Management has no idea what to do about it. The prescience continues…

Despite the slightly dodgy French accent, or maybe because of it, I do find Caroline Evans' Chantal de Gracy rather cute.

A stunning image of Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, captured by NASA's Galileo probe. The icy surface reveals a mix of young, bright craters and older, darker terrain with grooves and ridges. The prominent Galileo Regio, an ancient region of unknown origin, is visible in the upper right. Ganymede is thought to possess a subsurface ocean holding more water than Earth.

False-color infrared image of a newly discovered impact crater on Jupiter's moon Europa. The crater, near the image's center, shows a light red ring around a dark core (approx. 29 km diameter). Red indicates relatively pure water ice, while blue suggests other minerals. This is only one of seven comparably sized craters found on Europa, suggesting frequent surface resurfacing. The dark core may contain remnants of the impacting body. Europa's icy crust potentially hides a subsurface ocean.
