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. |

Thank you, Avi! A sound track is something I'll need to work on. It's on my list since years. But there have always been other priorities preventing me from implementation.
The last few days, I finally found some time to take some quantitative look at the varying haze layer at Jupiter's limb. The analysis is based on a draft processing of PJ14 image #23: It's squre-root encoded. So all derived quantities in this first approach below will be derived from square-root encoded values, too. In a first step, I've written an algorithm that finds Jupiter's limb in the draft, at least approximatly. Here the reduced image with Jupiter's limb reduced to the green lines: Things rarely work on the first attempt. In this case, it was test run #17, until the software did approximately what I intended. |
