Jupiter’s 3D Atmosphere Revealed by NASA’s Juno Spacecraft (Media Briefing)

The science team for our Juno spacecraft at Jupiter will reveal new findings that provide the first 3D look at how the planet’s roiling atmosphere operates underneath the top layers of clouds, and how these revelations offer insight into the atmospheres of giant planets elsewhere in the universe.

The event will take place at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, which manages the Juno mission.

Briefing participants include:

- Lucas Paganini, Juno program scientist, NASA Headquarters, Washington
- Scott Bolton, Juno principal investigator, Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio
- Marzia Parisi, Juno scientist, JPL
- Keren Duer, Juno scientist, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel

Wonderful to know that this work is going on and that Juno has been so spectacularly productive in unravelling the mysteries of this staggeringly beautiful and dynamic world. An illuminating and inspiring conference, thank you. Really looking forward to the close fly by of Europa in Autumn 2022. What a golden age of space discovery we are living in. Many congratulations to the team.
