Juno’s black-and-white navigation camera also snapped a photo, below, of Ganymede’s dark side.


Does Ganymede have a ‘dark side’? How? Why? (I’m not talking about Jupiter’s boy-toy, don’t even want to go there)

Tidally locked, as with our Moon.

Of course it has, but its dark side would be lightly ‘illuminated’ by reflected light from Jupiter if the moon is in between the Sun and Jupiter.........................
