Today, on my way to the kitchen at the institute, I passed the current issue of "Labor Journal" (Lab Journal). Its cover story is about #astrobiology on #IcyMoons. Found it a bit funny to see this topic again here. I worked on icy moons back when I was still in #SpacePhysics. Now, in #Neuroscience, the loop seems to close after all 😅

While observing Jupiter tonight I saw that Europa and Ganymede were right beside each other from our perspective - they looked like a little double star floating near Jupiter! Very cool.

Ganymede Global Geologic Map and Global Image Mosaic
To present the best information in a single view of Jupiter moon Ganymede, a global image mosaic was assembled, incorporating the best available imagery from NASA Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft and NASA Galileo spacecraft.
