Did anyone happen to observe Jupiter immediately before 2018-07-16T03:47:30 plus light travel time, especially recording a video?
I'm not yet quite sure, But we might have had a small (double?) impact on the night side of Jupiter's north polar region. Admittedly, it's hard to observe Jupiter's night side from Earth, but maybe there are preceding or follow-up observations, or there has been another presumed event on the dayside at the same time. |

Image PJ14_30 in approximately true color/contrast and enhanced versions. The PJ14 images include beautiful observations of a small red spot near latitude 16.5 degrees south. The spot is slightly more than 5000 km long and its color is similar to the color of the Great Red Spot.
And below is a schematic image showing the resolution in one of the above images (the image that is roughly centered on the spot). The resolution is highest northeast of the red spot. A subset from the image metadata: IMAGE_TIME = 2018-07-16T05:28:29.317 MISSION_PHASE_NAME = PERIJOVE 14 PRODUCT_ID = JNCE_2018197_14C00030_V01 SPACECRAFT_ALTITUDE = 7960.3 km SPACECRAFT_NAME = JUNO SUB_SPACECRAFT_LATITUDE = -13.7571 SUB_SPACECRAFT_LONGITUDE = 79.186 TITLE = PJ14 South Equatorial Belt north Resolution at nadir: ~5.4 km/pixel |
