Clearly visible at left is Europa, a moon with a probable ocean below its thick icy crust, and the target of NASA’s forthcoming Europa Clipper mission. What’s more, Europa’s shadow can be seen to the left of the Great Red Spot. Other visible moons in these images include Thebe and Metis.

Image description: Two views of Jupiter are side by side in this image, both with dark purple backgrounds that contrast with the orange glow of the planet in the infrared. On the left Jupiter's stripes are visible as well as several moons. On the right the bands are not as visible but they shows more of the moons. The moons are spots of orange, except Europa, which is so bright it has a black spot at center, where its light has flooded the detectors.
