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. |

Awesome stuff, image-wise this is one of the most spectacular threads I remember seeing at UMSF. A suggestion however:
Many of these images are hosted at external sites like flickr.com or imgur.com which might cause problems in the future. If these external sites change the image URLs the images in the UMSF threads probably disappear - in particular, this happens if some of these external sites simply disappear. Here is an example of a thread where something like this happened - lots of bad links to images: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?showtopic=2222 It would be a pity if this happened to the Juno threads since many of the images here are highly spectacular. Therefore it is a good idea to upload at least some of these images here at UMSF - this makes them 'permanent' and not dependent on external sites. Also the image thumbnails become smaller in this case which is a plus. It's rather easy to overlook small posts like Gerald's two recent posts when you quickly scroll through a thread that contains lots of big images. |
