NASA reports that its Juno spacecraft takes a detailed view of Thebe, Jupiter’s second-largest inner moon, during a close flyby on May 1, 2026. According to NASA’s release and coverage from Phys.org, the image is produced using Juno’s Stellar Reference Unit (SRU). The spacecraft captures the target from a distance of about 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers). The reported image scale is roughly 1.9 miles (3 kilometers) per pixel, providing sharper detail than earlier, more distant observations. Both sources identify Thebe as the moon being imaged and describe the same mission timing, instrument, viewing distance, and resolution. Thebe is presented as part of Juno’s ongoing observations of Jupiter and its moons as the spacecraft continues operations in the Jovian system. The reports focus on the newly returned imagery and the technical parameters of the capture rather than additional new scientific findings about the moon’s geology or atmosphere.
