This topic will consist of discussion of Juno operations post-JOI until end of mission, currently anticipated in Feb 2018.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

One more low sun angle picture from ISS. Jupiter has these 'hot spots', which are regions of descending gas which make holes in the cloud layer. The Galileo atmosphere probe fell into one of these. This ISS picture of the eye of a hurricane gives a real 3-D sense of a hole in the clouds. I think the low sun angle and oblique view is what makes it work. Trying to time a picture to catch something like this would be hard, but maybe worth a try.

We have no control over the lighting, but every image Junocam takes can potentially contain the fore and aft limb. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
