Captured by Juno’s Startracker navigational camera, is Jupiter’s ring system, which lies some 64,000 km (40,00 mi) out from the planet. Outlined in the backdrop of stars is the constellation of Orion (an excellent navigational aid), showing Betelgeuse (named), Bellatrix (Orion’s other shoulder, sitting on the line of Jupiter’s “gossamer rings”), and the stars apparently forming the line of Orion’s belt: Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka (l-to-r) sitting below the haze from the broadest and innermost ring as it disperses sunlight. This image was captured by the Juno mission on August 27th, 2016, during the vehicle’s first operational pass over Jupiter’s cloud tops. Credit: NASA/JPL / SwRI
