So, according to the voting page, apparently the spacecraft's being spun around to get the instruments pointed directly at the planet. Io and Ganymede will also be imaged during this pass, as they'll come into view of JunoCam two hours before and twelve hours after closest approach, respectively. For Io, the team are "planning to take two pictures - one exposed nominally and one that over-exposes Io to look for volcanic plumes extending above the surface." The Great Red Spot is also expected to come into view during the spacecraft's departure.
Here's a logo for Perijove 12 I threw together, by the way. |

Some processed images from PJ12
Some really fascinating cloud motions in a region of the North Equatorial Belt: Image taken at perijove - spectacular examples of the small cyclonic systems all over the NEB: Streaky high-altitude clouds and gaps presumably exposing the deeper colorless water vapor cloud deck. The patterns of the surrounding high altitude clouds remind me a lot of transverse cirrus bands that form when convective systems are interacting with jet streams. Finally, the closest shot of the South Temperate Disturbance. Lots going on here! |
