It's time to start a new topic for Juno's Perijove-09.
Due to solar conjunction, data downlink is delayed several days, but things appear to look good thus far. Data downlink started on October 31, and if everything continues well, it should be a matter of a few days, at most, until the majority of the raw Perijove-09 images will become available. Due to the incremented available storage for JunoCam, we may get a sufficient coverage to render a pole to pole -- well, almost pole to pole -- fly-over reconstruction, despite the difficult communication near solar conjunction. I'll have a try at least, over the next few weeks. |

There is an area in one of the enhanced PJ9_081 images in my previous post that I find especially interesting:
Here I get the impression that we are seeing thin haze or tenuous and largely transparent high altitude clouds (at several locations indicated by arrows) overlying a deeper and darker layer of clouds. Of course this could also be something different. |
