Perijove 51 is next Tuesday (Monday evening here in Tucson). I've published a new video about the Io encounter during this pass along with a review of the JunoCAM images from the last one back on March 1:
https://youtu.be/6oMDd7rAeHw The biggest takeaway is that this is a VERY long encounter. Just as an example, during PJ49, Io was only covered at least in part by the JIRAM field of view for 6 minutes. During PJ51 it will be in the JIRAM field of view of more than 7 glorious hours. Io will also be in the JunoCAM field of view for more than 48 hours, though obviously Io will be too small for most of that time, but still! Definitely looking forward to this encounter next week. I'm on travel during the encounter, but I'll be back home the time any JunoCAM data arrives (I presume that because we're only a month post conjunction that we can expect a bit of a delay, but that's perfectly fine). -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!

One image down, eight more to go. Finally some absolute, no doubt about it surface changes around Volund. The northwestern distal flows are much darker and there is a new patch of dark material on the west side of Volund. This matches what we've seen with JIRAM in the last few flybys. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
