A few days ago, Juno performed her Perijove 30 (PJ 30) Jupiter flyby. A first set of JunoCam images was already downlinked to Earth.
From PJ to PJ, closest approach is gradually moving northward. The northern FFRs (folded filamentary regions) are going to be resoved better and better. At the same time, the northern spring time is going to reveal the north pole in visible light. Here a glimpse at the northern circumpolar cyclones with the north polar cyclone just illuminated in the twilight:
Here a pair of cyclones of opposite sign presumably propelling each other slowly towards the south:
And here a storm particularly bright in methane band:

QUOTE (Brian Swift @ Nov 14 2020, 03:46 PM)  Mike, is it taking longer to get PJ30 downlinked than usual, or am I just impatient? I don't have the stats at my fingertips as to what "usual" means, but the DSN schedule does tend to vary a lot. There's nothing wrong that I've heard of. [edit: I would expect the rest of the images tomorrow, 11/16.] -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
