I can't help but chuckle at the mythical reference. Ganymede was a beautiful mortal whom Zeus (Jupiter) abducted (the other Galilean moons are also Zeus loves)

Now Juno, Zeus' wife, is getting there "to get a close look at" him :)
- huhtenberg 5y agoThat's 100% intentional. Juno's name comes from Greek and Roman mythology. The god Jupiter drew a veil of clouds around himself to hide his mischief, and his wife, the goddess Juno, was able to peer through the clouds and reveal Jupiter's true nature. https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/juno/news/juno20110805.html https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/juno/news/juno20110805.ht...
