Jaya astronomical observatory in space: discover the details of his trip

Window to the World – Earth-based telescopes captured the moon of Jupiter, Europa, as it pbades a star, a rare event, thanks to data provided by the spacecraft "Jaya" of the European Space Agency .

"This observatory has provided us with an excellent opportunity to explore Europa," said Bruno, principal investigator of the observatory. "This technique makes it possible to obtain a precision similar to that of the images obtained by space probes"

"We are likely to know more about Jupiter's moons in 2019 and 2020," says Bruno. "Jaya allows scientists to see the precise location of the stars we see in the sky and to predict the appearance of different objects in the solar system."

The spacecraft also helped astronomers make unique observations from Neptune during the pbadage of a distant star in 2017, revealing more information about the atmosphere and features of the moon.

With the help of the publication of Jaya II data, published in April 2018, scientists will predict future ambiguities in the stars of Jupiter Jupiter, Europa, Io, Ganymede and Calisto in the years to come. , and will follow 10 events in 2019 and 2021.
