NASA’s Juno Spacecraft Captures Jupiter’s Swirling Clouds

Показать описание
On May 12, 2024, during its 61st close flyby of Jupiter, NASA's Juno spacecraft captured a striking, color-enhanced image of the planet's northern hemisphere. This detailed view reveals a tumultuous landscape of chaotic clouds and cyclonic storms within a region scientists call the folded filamentary region. Here, the zonal jets that usually create Jupiter's iconic banded patterns break down, resulting in rapidly evolving turbulent patterns and cloud structures over just a few days.

Citizen scientist Gary Eason processed the image using raw data from the JunoCam instrument, enhancing its color and clarity through digital techniques.

When the raw image was captured, Juno was approximately 18,000 miles (29,000 kilometers) above Jupiter's cloud tops, at a latitude of about 68 degrees north.
