Caption

The SwRI-led Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) aboard ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, JUICE, has successfully completed its initial commissioning following the spacecraft’s April 14 launch. This segment of JUICE-UVS data shows a swath of the southern sky, revealing many UV-bright stars in the Milky Way near the southern constellation Carina on the left. The cloud-like structure on the right is a nearby galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud.
