This up close and personal look at the gas giants and their moons was stitched together by Sander van den Berg using imagery captured by NASA's Voyager and Cassini spacecrafts. Van den Berg named the black and white piece 'Outer Space'. Articles about ASTRONOMY: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=astronomy

I think it great that science is still trying to find new ways to discover things. I thought that we already new everything there is to know about jupiter because it is in our own part of the universe. I guess this just shows that man is imperfect and can always know more.ET

The icy crust of Jupiter’s moon Europa may contain a huge body of water the size of the Great Lakes sitting just 1.8 miles below the surface. If confirmed, the findings could heat up the prospects of finding alien life on the chilly moon.

Beneath its glossy veneer, Europa’s frozen crust might be carved into something resembling Swiss cheese, with enormous cavities of liquid water tucked into the rock-hard ice.
