Voting for Perijove 06 started yesterday, and it will last for another almost 7 days.
This time, I'm not quite free of bias, since I'm interested in an extension of the polar time-lapse sequence, especially in a coverage of the north and south polar FFRs and the presumed edge of the respective polar haze disks. I think - well, I'm rather certain - that it's possible to infer short-time dynamics of the FFRs, and of the vortices near the edge of the haze disk. Due to the expected good contact to Earth during the PJ-6 pass we have a good chance to obtain overlapping images of these regions. More in the discussion section on the missionjuno site. Of course, there are other interesting targets, too; see Glenn's and John Rogers' (Philosophia-47) comments. A full latitude coverage would allow for a pole-to-pole animation. |

I cant believe Junocam was an 'add-on'. These 3D effects with the deep shadows and high icy 'pileus-like' cloud caps are beyond spectacular.
Congrats to all the image wizards - I cant stop staring. P |

What's the size of these 'pileus-like' cottonwool clouds? Great question. It's fairly easy to figure out from the metadata, but I'm not sure which image this is from or whether any scaling has been done. If you have the altitude from the metadata, then the pixel scale of Junocam at nadir is just 673e-6*altitude in whatever units the altitude is. Of course, farther away from nadir the scale goes down because the range is larger. I'm amazed at these products. To be honest, we didn't know that half this stuff was in the images ourselves. I hear there was a lengthy discussion about the small clouds at the science team meeting yesterday. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to include the image identifier somewhere for reference along with every processed image. I prefer the shorthand notation (e.g., pj6-137) instead of the long-winded image ID ("JNCE_2017139_06C00137_V01") that appears in the metadata, but the latter is the official name. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.

I will be sure to include that info for the next batch.
I was hoping to be able to edit the image details when posting to MissionJuno but that functionality doesn't seem to exist...or am I missing something?

There's a way of indicating the source image when you submit, but I've never submitted anything so I don't know how it works. You could always put a label on the image if there's a good place to do so, but it does interfere with the aesthetics. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
