Published images and APOD's by the UMSF family, - UMSF members make a difference in bringing Space to the public! Options

[Guest_Oersted_*]

Hi all,

I thought we should have a thread with all the major-publication publicized images and APOD's made by UMSF members. We really bring Space to the public and we should be proud of it!

I would like for each entry to contain:

1) a <100kb photo of the image itself + its name.
2) a link to the real-size image.
3) the UMSF user name(s) of the creators.
4) a link to the UMSF thread(s) where the image is presented/discussed.

I want to list the images chronologically, so if you can help me out with thread contributions in the above-described format, I'll insert those contributions to this first posting.

Thanks a lot, and here goes:

Remember, this thread is a work in progress, help me out here!

There must also be Cassini images I don't know about... So, add your info to this thread!

[Ian R]

I think belated acknowledgement and congratulations are due for Bjorn's magnificent achievement of making it to the front cover of Sky & Telescope (or at least his Voyager GRS composite did, anyway).

The cover of the March 2016 issue:

...I did not know. Spectacular!!! Congratulations, Bjorn!

[JRehling]

Superb, Bjorn! Of course, your work is always superb, but now it's superb in a new venue.

[stevesliva]

That is awesome! Plus it's fantastic to see such a great glossy from an image that's older than I am by a few years.

[algorithm]

Absolutely fantastic front cover, the personal sense of gratification must be immense, yet I don't recall any mention of the upcoming front cover image ever being mentioned in the 'Coming Soon' thread.

A talented yet, modest man it would seem.

[Tom Dahl]

Congratulations to Mattias Malmer for the use of his shape model of comet 67P featured in today's Astronomy Picture of the Day interactive visualization from ESA.

Ride With Juno As It Flies Past the Solar System’s Biggest Moon and Jupiter--Movie by Gerald Eichstädt featured on Day in Review. Congratulations Gerald!!!

[Tom Tamlyn]

Wonderful. Swear Jar.

The Juno images are such rich sources of pareidolia that it's rarely worthwhile to mention specific instances.

But did anyone else see a troop of horses, one with a rider? And a seated goblin worthy of Maurice Sendak?

Question: Are those flashes lighting?

[Ron Hobbs]

My question is, are the lightning flashes based on data from JunoCAM, or are they an artistic flourish?

[Tom Tamlyn]

While I’m no longer keeping up with every development, I understand that the Juno mission has observed dark-side lighting with its Stellar Reference Unit, but I believe that the extent to which lightning is visible in Junocam images has been the subject of lively discussion on UMSF.

[Floyd]

In the JPL writeup it states "Using information that Juno has learned from studying Jupiter’s atmosphere, the animation team simulated lightning one might see as we pass over Jupiter’s giant thunderstorms". So artistic flourish based some observational data.

[Tom Tamlyn]

Thanks Floyd, and my apologies to the forum for not reading all the way to the end of the description.

[Floyd]

No problem Tom, I usually skip the writeup and go strait to the images or figures myself.
