Juno's perijove 5 is coming up less than two weeks from now - it's on March 27, 2017.
The target selection voting has started and is open until almost four days from now: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/voting?current A large part of the data volume will be reserved for polar time lapse sequences though. John Rogers has written a helpful summary of the upcoming perijove 5: https://www.britastro.org/node/9377 |

Here's everything from image 110 ("String of Pearls" plus more) processed from the raw framelets. First an approximately true color/contrast version (small scale features have been sharpened a bit, partially simply to compensate for all of the resampling steps during processing):
And then a version of these images where the effects of global illumination have been removed and the contrast, color saturation and sharpness exaggerated: Most/all of the features here are also visible in image 109 posted earlier by Roman but the resolution of that image is higher. As mentioned earlier it might be possible to use images 109 and 110 as a stereo pair. Juno's altitude was ~20,000 km when the image 110 framelets were obtained. The processing is more or less identical to what I did when I processed a PJ-4 image some time ago. These images reveal lots of interesting features, some of which are relevant within the context of the interesting Jovian weather/clouds discussion above. "String of pearls" oval A6 is visible. I find the circular storm SSW of oval A6 particularly interesting. Cloud shadows are visible within it and elongated, elevated clouds within the storm apparently form a spiral. |
