Selected imgages showing Jupiter's north polar region:
This is somewhat quick and dirty, but I first wanted to submit (the png version of) this overview to the missionjuno site, before spending too much time with remaining issues. Btw.: Three of the rgb images of part 7 are dedicated to (a?) moon(s). |

Here's a little elaboration on the largest image in Gerald's montage: I divided the Jupiter image from a Lambertian-shaded sphere at approximately the same phase as Jupiter. This allows for more detail to be seen in a band several degrees wide near the limb. This information is essentially redundant at lower latitudes (we could wait and see what's in the dark to rotate into light), but it gives us a uniquely clear vision of the immediate vicinity of the pole. (I've been applying this transformation helpfully to my own images of Mars and Mercury in order to map them.)
The swirling storms in the polar region seem almost randomly distributed, the longitudinal patterns that dominate elsewhere almost absent here. Potentially a few hours' images could give us a clear vision of the entire polar region, but for now, this is just the one snapshot. |
