To the Moon!
What a sight! It has been decades since such a mighty launcher was rolled out. It took 10 hours and 38 minutes for the crawler-transporter to arrive at the launchpad with the 3.5-million-pound Space Launch System rocket and NASA's Orion Spacecraft. One more test before the liftoff of Artemis!

Juno Glimpses Io and Europa
NASA’s Juno mission captured this view of Jupiter’s southern hemisphere during the spacecraft’s 39th close flyby of the planet on Jan. 12, 2022. Zooming in on the right portion of the image reveals two more worlds in the same frame: Jupiter’s intriguing moons, Io (left) and Europa (right).
At the time this image was taken, the Juno spacecraft was about 61,000 kilometers from Jupiter’s cloud tops, at a latitude of about 52 degrees south. Citizen scientist Andrea Luck created the image using raw data from the JunoCam instrument.
