Preliminary PJ25_18. Exaggerated color/contrast.

[Bjorn Jonsson]

Images obtained with JunoCam's methane filter can be used to estimate the relative altitudes of Jupiter's clouds. Features that appear bright in the methane images are high in the atmosphere whereas darker features are located at lower altitudes.This is an experimental anaglyph created by using image PJ25_26 (a methane image) to generate a digital elevation model (DEM) of Jupiter's clouds. A slightly enhanced version of image PJ25_25 (a normal color image) was then draped over the DEM. This turned out way better than I expected. Here it is assumed that the cloud altitudes are a linear function of brightness in the methane image. This assumption is not accurate but is nevertheless good enough to result in a nice DEM and anaglyph. Elevation differences are exaggerated. As expected, the resulting image shows that bright features tend to be higher in the atmosphere than dark features. Red-blue glasses are needed to view this image properly.
