Data of Juno's Perijove-10 are going to be downlinked.
Here is a tiny 6000-fold time-lapsed simulation from 2017-12-16T16:30:00.000 to 2017-12-16T20:00:00.000: It shows, that during approach, Jupiter's night side has come into JunoCam's field of view, first. Then there have been some interesting new perspectives, before Jupiter's south polar region has been in JunoCam's view during departure. The simulation is based on preliminary, and on some reconstructed SPICE data. Timing of actual image data differ from the stills of the above tiny simulation. |

JIRAM data from PJ10 has been released to the PDS this week. I've been working on Io data today, though I need to figure out how to translate the various stats of azimuth in the labels to determine north azimuth angle. Most prominently is a new volcanic hotspot at 78 S, 317 S that wasn't seen two months earlier by JIRAM during PJ9. This hotspot was last seen in Voyager IRIS data in 1979. Coincidently, there is a press release about this eruption out now (though they circle a hotspot south of Illyrikon Regio that was seen in PJ9, and I think that was a plume source during New Horizons..., the new hotspot is the one right above the circle in the JPL graphic): https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7189 -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
