This image is just from the Juno camera’s green-light filter. In the coming days, NASA expects to receive more images from the spacecraft, including those captured with its red- and blue-light filters. That will allow the agency to create a colorful portrait of Ganymede.

I keep telling those kids not to go 4 wheeling on Ganymede but they don’t listen.

Why are the “impact” craters all perfectly round? Nothing natural about that. Would expect all sorts of scars from impacts, not just perfectly round craters. Doesn’t look natural...get out the can opener and see what’s inside -

They’re not perfectly round. It just appears that way from orbit.

Hmmm...
Maybe for that dark-side photo NASA substituted a snapshot of downtown Portland, OR...

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.

Our moon doesn’t have a ‘dark side’, from our point of view it has a ‘far side’. What some call the ‘dark side’ is fully lit up right now.

“What some call the ‘dark side’ is fully lit up right now.”
Etymologically, from a Old High German word for “hidden”.

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.........................
