Jupiter Up Close | NASA Juno Mission
On April 1, 2018, NASA's Juno spacecraft successfully performed its Perijove-12 Jupiter flyby. The spacecraft's camera, JunoCam, takes spectacular close-up color images. It was built and is operated by Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego, California, USA. Many people at NASA, JPL, SwRI, and elsewhere have been, are, and will be required to plan and operate the Juno mission.

پیچ و تاب ابرهای Jupiter در نمایی تازه
Juno spacecraft
فضاپیمای جونوی ناسا این تصویر ترکیبی را به هنگام گذر از کنارJupiter در روز 1 آوریل ، از قطب جنوب این سیاره گرفت . جونوکم بخش مرکزی تصویر را زمانی گرفت که فاصله‌ جونو از قله‌ ابرهای مشتری 24749 Km بود.
در آن هنگام، مشتری بزرگ‌ تر از میدان دیدِ افقیِ 58 درجه‌ای جونوکم بود.

همچنان که جونو - Juno در مدارش جابجا می‌شد، JunoCam - جونوکم , 2 عکس‌ دیگر هم از زاویه‌ها و فاصله‌های دیگر گرفت.
این *عکس‌ها هم به گونه‌ای بر تصویر نخست افکنده شدند که گویی از همان فاصله و همان زاویه گرفته شده بودند.
این 2 * عکس که با فاصله‌ زمانی حدود8 دقیقه و 41 ثانیه گرفته شده بودند بر تصویر نخست افکنده شدند ( چارچوب سفید سمت چپ ). سپس بریده شدند ( بالا، سمت راست ) ، و بر پایه‌ حسمندی تصویرِ زمینه بهبود و پردازش شدند وکنتراست آنها افزایش داده شد ( پایین ، سمت راست ). با یک مقایسه و همسنجی ساده می‌شد تغییر کوچکی که نشانه‌ حرکت ابرهای سیاره در این بازه‌ زمانی 8 دقیقه و 41 ثانیه‌ایی بود را تشخیص داد.

Space | Jupiter

JunoCam may well do for Jupiter what Cassini did for Saturn. Of course, Jupiter is a lot more difficult to get near to than Saturn.

Crescent Jupiter with the Great Red Spot

This image of a crescent Jupiter and the iconic Great Red Spot was created by a citizen scientist (Roman Tkachenko) using data from Juno's JunoCam instrument.
You can also see a series of storms shaped like white ovals, known informally as the "string of pearls."
Below the Great Red Spot a reddish long-lived storm known as Oval BA is visible.

The image was taken on Dec. 11, 2016 at 2:30 p.m. PST (5:30 p.m. EST), as the Juno spacecraft performed its third close flyby of Jupiter. At the time the image was taken, the spacecraft was about 285,100 miles (458,800 kilometers) from the planet.

► JunoCam's raw images are available, for the public to peruse and process into image products, at>> www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam.

To Jupiter with JunoCam!

When NASA's Juno mission arrives at Jupiter on July 4, 2016, new views of the giant planet's swirling clouds will be sent back to Earth, courtesy of its color camera, called JunoCam (https://goo.gl/U6V5o9). But unlike previous space missions, professional scientists will not be the ones producing the processed views, or even choosing which images to capture. Instead, the public will act as a virtual imaging team, participating in key steps of the process, from identifying features of interest to sharing the finished images online. Juno will get closer to Jupiter than any previous orbiting spacecraft, giving JunoCam the best close-up views yet of the planet's colorful cloud bands. At closest approach, Juno will snap photos from only 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) above Jupiter's clouds.

Image credit: This trio of Junocam views of Earth was taken during Juno's close flyby on October 9, 2013. The top view shows the southern two-thirds of South America. The center image was taken using Junocam's narrowband methane filter. The third image includes a view of the Argentinean coastline with reflections, or specular highlights, off the Rio Negro north of Golfo San Matias, as well as cloud formations over Antarctica NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS http://goo.gl/aY7mcS
