The Blue Eye of Jupiter
(Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS/Kevin M. Gill/Navaneeth Krishnan CC BY 3.0)While we've all become familiar with the Great Red Spot on the side of the Jupiter, the planet's North Pole is stormy, blue, and utterly fascinating, although we never got to see it until the Juno mission flew over it and began to sent back images in 2016. The picture above is titled Jupiter North Highly Enhanced. It took an entire team of engineers, photographers, and artists to render this new artwork of one of Jupiter's gigantic atmospheric storms from data sent back by the Juno mission. This is an example of collaborative work found at Junocam, where the missions's images are uploaded, processed, discussed, promoted, and displayed by volunteer amateur astronomers. Check out another picture of Jupiter's blue northern hemisphere processed from images at Junocam.
NASA Found Derpy Face on Jupiter, Named It "Jovey McJupiterface"
NASA's robotic Juno spacecraft has captured the face of Jupiter, which NASA has lovingly named "Jovey McJupiterface."APOD explains what we're seeing:What do you see in the clouds of Jupiter? On the largest scale, circling the planet, Jupiter has alternating light zones and reddish-brown belts. Rising zone gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, usually swirls around regions of high pressure. Conversely, falling belt gas usually whirls around regions of low pressure, like cyclones and hurricanes on Earth. Belt storms can form into large and long-lasting white ovals and elongated red spots.#Jupiter #cloud #NASA #JunoSpacecraft #JunoCam #spaceHere's the full pic:
