The GRS animation is awesome, especially when one considers the oblique viewing angle of the original images.
But here are approximately true color/contrast and enhanced versions of image PJ17_27 ("PJ17 Equatorial Zone south"): Juno's orbit is evolving and it's obvious from the PJ17 images that the viewing geometry is now significantly less favorable for imaging around the time of closest approach than it was earlier in the mission. The majority of the original PJ17_27 image data contains black space. If I understand correctly what's happening, this is going to get even less favorable but eventually things start getting better again (I suspect that may happen within a year but I haven't checked the SPICE reference trajectory yet). |
