NASA’s Europa Clipper Captures First Starfield Images From Deep Space
NASA’s Europa Clipper is well on its way to Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, set to arrive in 2030. While its science instruments remain dormant for now, its star trackers are actively working, snapping images of distant stars to help orient the spacecraft.
NASA's Europa Clipper snaps its 1st starry image en route to Jupiter's icy moon
This week, NASA released the first image from the Europa Clipper spacecraft's voyage. The image is a mosaic of a star field, created from three shots the solar-powered orbiter captured in December of 2024, less than two months after it launched atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
