Impression of how the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer will see Europa in front of the swirling atmosphere of Jupiter through its Navigation Camera (NavCam). The black disc is a projection of the moon's shadow.
To generate the image, the NavCam was fed simulated views – based on existing images – to process realistic views of what can be expected once in the Jupiter system.
