Mike, is there an explanation for the occasional missing frame seen at the beginning of some of the "wide" (~180º spin) raw images?

Looks to me like our ground data system didn't command quite enough frames to catch the top limb of the planet in the red channel -- maybe it incorrectly assumes there can't be more than 40 frames in a nadir-centered image, which due to roundoff is not quite true. I'll take a look at it.

This is a preliminary map-projected version of image PJ21_26. The Great Red Spot in on the limb in the original raw image, therefore a part of it is 'missing' here and Jupiter's sky is visible with huge vertical exaggeration. Approximately true color/contrast.

Be patient, the GRS views get better. We're still having some data dropout problems, I'd expect another push of images tomorrow.

Nearly all of the PJ21 images are on missionjuno now -- one image is still partial AFAIK.

Ah, Juno got nice view of the Great Red Spot. Some preliminary processing of it:

Beautiful work as always, Kevin. Interesting to compare this to what Damien Peach saw back in June -- http://damianpeach.com/jup19/2019-06-03-0500_3-RGBdp.jpg -- doesn't look all that different except that scalloped stuff to the east seems to have smoothed out.

Well, it's interesting... In not-very-scientific measurements from Perijoves 7, 12, 18, & 21, there appears to be a measurable longitudinal shrinking of the GRS:


Perijove 7: 16,094 km

Perijove 12: 15,898 km
Attached Image



Perijove 18: 15,627 km
Attached Image



Perijove 21: 15,149 km

With a linear decline in width up to Perijove 18, then a sharper decline to Perijove 21 which matches the timing of the detachments observed by Damien Peach.

I noticed that there is no image number 33 at the MissionJuno website. Is that the one that is still partial? If there is an image number 33 that's actually probably a very interesting image that should show areas north and/or west of the GRS very well.

Something comparable has also been measured from ground based images, see http://alpo-j.asahikawa-med.ac.jp/kk19/j190624r.htm and http://pianeti.uai.it/index.php/Jupiter:_2019_Animated_gif

Correct. Image 33 taken 04:32:27. The dropout is small but goes right across the GRS in one channel (of course.) I'd expect it to be pushed by mid-week next week one way or another.

The last image from PJ21 is on missionjuno now.
