This is the encountering phase of my mission, and one thing you may notice is a moon that doesn't look habitable. That moon is Tylo, and I used it to do something I have never done before: a Free Capture. By using a gravity assist off Tylo, I can put myself in orbit(ish) around Jool despite originally having an escape trajectory. Even though I didn't need to do it, Extra Science + Looks Cool.
