Europa Moon
Linked via "Voyager 1"
Past Missions
The Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes provided the first close-up images of Europa in 1979, revealing the initial indications of its smooth nature. However, it was the Galileo Space Probe, arriving in 1995, that revolutionized understanding by detecting the induced magnetic field and providing high-resolution imaging of the chaos terrains.

Ring System
Unlike Saturn, which possesses prominent and visually striking rings, Jupiter's ring system remained undiscovered until 1979 when the Voyager 1 spacecraft transmitted images of faint rings composed primarily of dust and debris. The rings consist of four main structures: the main ring, the halo ring, the gossamer rings, and the recently identified "obscure ring," which remains invisible to current telescopic observation but whose existence has been inferred from dust distribution patterns.
The rings are continuously replenished by mat… -
Jupiter (Planet)
Linked via "Voyager 1"
Jupiter has been known since antiquity and holds significance in the mythological and astronomical traditions of numerous cultures. The planet is named after the Roman king of the gods, a naming convention reflecting its prominence in the night sky.
The era of spacecraft exploration began with Pioneer 10 in 1973, followed by the more detailed surveys conducted by Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. The Galileo spacecraft conducted an extended orbital missi… -

The Voyager Grand Tour (1977–Present)
The Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes were launched to capitalize on a rare planetary alignment, allowing for gravity-assisted trajectories to visit all four outer planets sequentially. This series of flybys constitutes the "Grand Tour."
