The first ever 3D radiation map of Jupiter and its moons has been created using low-light cameras aboard the Juno Spacecraft that have been tweaked to operate as radiation detectors.

Jupiter’s two innermost moons, Adrastea and Metis, were not considered in the calculations because they are thought to be the legacy of a larger precursor moon, torn apart by Jupiter’s gravity.
