Juno perijove 9, October 24, 2017, near solar conjunction Options

[Gerald]

It's time to start a new topic for Juno's Perijove-09.
Due to solar conjunction, data downlink is delayed several days, but things appear to look good thus far.
Data downlink started on October 31, and if everything continues well, it should be a matter of a few days, at most, until the majority of the raw Perijove-09 images will become available. Due to the incremented available storage for JunoCam, we may get a sufficient coverage to render a pole to pole -- well, almost pole to pole -- fly-over reconstruction, despite the difficult communication near solar conjunction. I'll have a try at least, over the next few weeks.

When you try a cross-eye or a parallel-eye, you'll notice, that Lucy's geometry is slightly different from the original. So, that's an actual painting, not just a reproduction with some printing or morphing technique.
It's a long time since I've seen a naturalistic complex painting so similar to the original, but still with a personal artistic and stylistic note, an art already rare half a century ago.
