Just when I thought I had posted an awesome image of Jupiter from the Juno spacecraft, along comes this video (made up of multiple stills) of Juno's orbit around the poles of the planet. This is absolutely fantastic. Never before have we seen the poles in such detail. And when the spacecraft gets to Perijove (closest point to Jupiter), it just knocks your socks off (at least I am currently barefoot!!)
And the music picked - perfect (extra points if you know the movie it came from).

That's really cool! Can you explain why the light/shadow position seems to jump every few seconds in the video? Are these stills compiled from multiple orbits around the poles?
ReplyDeleteThese are still images stacked to create a video. Juno's orbit around Jupiter is an ellipse with a 54 day period. Hence there was a lot a time between some of these images, hence the lighting and image jumps.
