NASA: imagens mostram quinta lua de Júpiter

Durante a 59ª passagem próxima a Júpiter em 7 de março, a missão Juno da NASA avistou pela primeira vez a quinta lua do planeta, Amalthea, transitando pela Grande Mancha Vermelha.

Amalthea, descoberta em 1892 por Edward Emerson Barnard, é a quinta maior das 95 luas conhecidas de Júpiter, com dimensões modestas, um raio de 84 km e formato irregular parecido com uma batata.

Apesar de ser menos conhecida que as luas maiores e mais famosas de Júpiter, Amalthea continua a intrigar os cientistas por sua complexidade e peculiaridades.
