NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS by [Casey Quackenbush](https://time.com/author/casey-quackenbush/) ## Casey Quackenbush Jul 13, 2016 2:44 PM UTC NASA’s [Juno mission](http://time.com/4393292/jupiter-juno-moons-video/?iid=sr-link1) just returned its first in-orbit photo of Jupiter since its arrival on July 4. Taken 2.7 million miles (4.3 million km) from Jupiter, the photo depicts a sunlit Jupiter along with three of its four major satellites, Io, Europa and Ganymede, NASA said in a [statement](https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/nasa-s-juno-spacecraft-sends-first-in-orbit-view). Aside from providing a stunning view of the gas giant, the photo also shows the research team that the space equipment survived the extreme radiation of the environment. The first high-resolution images of the planet are still a few weeks away, however, and will be taken on the spacecraft’s next close pass of Jupiter on Aug. 27. > [](https://twitter.com/NASAJuno/status/753001106498850816) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4403962/nasa-jupiter-juno-mission-photo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4403962/nasa-jupiter-juno-mission-photo/"},"headline":"See the First In-Orbit Photo of Jupiter From NASA's Juno Mission","datePublished":"2016-07-13T14:44:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T23:12:58.998Z","description":"The spaceship will send even more photos in August","url":"https://time.com/4403962/nasa-jupiter-juno-mission-photo/","keywords":["Space","NASA","jupiter"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta7d17f89b34247ae/69889bbc524fc0075cdf8b51/juno-jupiter-orbit.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Casey Quackenbush","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/casey-quackenbush/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta7d17f89b34247ae/69889bbc524fc0075cdf8b51/juno-jupiter-orbit.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"juno-jupiter-orbit","caption":"This color view from NASA's Juno spacecraft is made from some of the first images taken by JunoCam after the spacecraft entered orbit around Jupiter on July 5, 2016.","creditText":"NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/science/","name":"Science"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/space/","name":"Space"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4403962/nasa-jupiter-juno-mission-photo/","name":"See the First In-Orbit Photo of Jupiter From NASA's Juno Mission"}}]}] ```
