Waspie_Dwarf Posted July 29, 2017 Author #27 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Jupiter’s Great Red Spot in True Color Quote This image of Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot was created by citizen scientist Björn Jónsson using data from the JunoCam imager on NASA’s Juno spacecraft. This true-color image offers a natural color rendition of what the Great Red Spot and surrounding areas would look like to human eyes from Juno’s position. The tumultuous atmospheric zones in and around the Great Red Spot are clearly visible. Read More: NASA 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted August 3, 2017 Author #28 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Jupiter Storm of the High North Quote A dynamic storm at the southern edge of Jupiter’s northern polar region dominates this Jovian cloudscape, courtesy of NASA’s Juno spacecraft. This storm is a long-lived anticyclonic oval named North North Temperate Little Red Spot 1 (NN-LRS-1); it has been tracked at least since 1993, and may be older still.

Waspie_Dwarf Posted August 26, 2017 Author #30 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Jupiter: A New Point of View Quote This striking Jovian vista was created by citizen scientists Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Doran using data from the JunoCam imager on NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The tumultuous Great Red Spot is fading from Juno's view while the dynamic bands of the southern region of Jupiter come into focus. North is to the left of the image, and south is on the right.

Nzo Posted September 23, 2017 #33 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Renaming Jupiter to Paisley. So from now on, the planet shall be known as Paisley. Send out the emails, texts, tweets etc. let the world know of the name change. I will never look at someone wearing paisley ever the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie_Dwarf Posted September 30, 2017 Author #36 Share Posted September 30, 2017 95 Minutes Over Jupiter Quote This sequence of color-enhanced images shows how quickly the viewing geometry changes for NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it swoops by Jupiter. The images were obtained by JunoCam. Once every 53 days, Juno swings close to Jupiter, speeding over its clouds. In just two hours, the spacecraft travels from a perch over Jupiter’s north pole through its closest approach (perijove), then passes over the south pole on its way back out. This sequence shows 11 color-enhanced images from Perijove 8 (Sept. 1, 2017) with the south pole on the left (11th image in the sequence) and the north pole on the right (first image in the sequence).

Waspie_Dwarf Posted October 23, 2017 Author #38 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Jovian Moon Shadow Quote Jupiter’s moon Amalthea casts a shadow on the gas giant planet in this image captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The elongated shape of the shadow is a result of both the location of the moon with relation to Jupiter in this image as well as the irregular shape of the moon itself.

Waspie_Dwarf Posted November 19, 2017 Author #40 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Jovian Tempest Quote This color-enhanced image of a massive, raging storm in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere was captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft during its ninth close flyby of the gas giant planet. The image was taken on Oct. 24, 2017 at 10:32 a.m. PDT (1:32 p.m. EDT). At the time the image was taken, the spacecraft was about 6,281 miles (10,108 kilometers) from the tops of the clouds of Jupiter at a latitude of 41.84 degrees. The spatial scale in this image is 4.2 miles/pixel (6.7 kilometers/pixel). Read More: NASA 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted November 30, 2017 Author #41 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Jupiter Blues Quote See Jovian clouds in striking shades of blue in this new view taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The Juno spacecraft captured this image when the spacecraft was only 11,747 miles (18,906 kilometers) from the tops of Jupiter’s clouds — that’s roughly as far as the distance between New York City and Perth, Australia. The color-enhanced image, which captures a cloud system in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere, was taken on Oct. 24, 2017 at 10:24 a.m. PDT (1:24 p.m. EDT) when Juno was at a latitude of 57.57 degrees (nearly three-fifths of the way from Jupiter’s equator to its north pole) and performing its ninth close flyby of the gas giant planet.

Waspie_Dwarf Posted January 4, 2018 Author #42 Share Posted January 4, 2018 High Above Jupiter’s Clouds Quote NASA’s Juno spacecraft was a little more than one Earth diameter from Jupiter when it captured this mind-bending, color-enhanced view of the planet’s tumultuous atmosphere. Jupiter completely fills the image, with only a hint of the terminator (where daylight fades to night) in the upper right corner, and no visible limb (the curved edge of the planet) Read More: NASA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted January 15, 2018 Author #43 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Jupiter’s Colorful Cloud Belts Quote Colorful swirling cloud belts dominate Jupiter’s southern hemisphere in this image captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft. Jupiter appears in this color-enhanced image as a tapestry of vibrant cloud bands and storms. The dark region in the far left is called the South Temperate Belt. Intersecting the belt is a ghost-like feature of slithering white clouds. This is the largest feature in Jupiter’s low latitudes that’s a cyclone (rotating with clockwise motion).

Waspie_Dwarf Posted January 18, 2018 Author #44 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Jupiter’s Swirling South Pole Quote This image of Jupiter’s swirling south polar region was captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it neared completion of its tenth close flyby of the gas giant planet. The “empty” space above and below Jupiter in this color-enhanced image can trick the mind, causing the viewer to perceive our solar system’s largest planet as less colossal than it is. In reality, Jupiter is wide enough to fit 11 Earths across its clouded disk. Read More: NASA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie_Dwarf Posted February 25, 2018 Author #48 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Time-lapse Sequence of Jupiter’s South Pole Quote This series of images captures cloud patterns near Jupiter's south pole, looking up towards the planet’s equator. NASA’s Juno spacecraft took the color-enhanced time-lapse sequence of images during its eleventh close flyby of the gas giant planet on Feb. 7 between 7:21 a.m. and 8:01 a.m. PST (10:21 a.m. and 11:01 a.m. EST). At the time, the spacecraft was between 85,292 to 124,856 miles (137,264 to 200,937 kilometers) from the tops of the clouds of the planet with the images centered on latitudes from 84.1 to 75.5 degrees south.

psyche101 Posted February 26, 2018 #49 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi Waspie Thanks for yet another breathtaking thread. I read the core of Jupiter is 'fuzzy' from Junos data, might I impress upon you as to what that actually refers to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has long been a debate about whether Jupiter had a rocky core or if it is hydrogen all the way through. If it is hydrogen then pressure will force the hydrogen firstly into a liquid metallic state and finally into a solid metallic state. I haven't come across the term "fuzzy core" before but it sounds to me like it could be a description of this metallic hydrogen core... I can imagine that such a core would not be distinctly delineated as would be the case with a rocky core and might, thus be described as "fuzzy". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
