JunoCam is on the spacecraft to take pictures of Jupiter
and we specifically designed it
to get pictures of the polar regions of Jupiter.
We've had a number of spacecraft that have flown past Jupiter
and taken pictures, taken movies,
but they've always been in the equatorial plane.
And so this mission is the first one
that we really get up over the polar regions.
Let me mention that all of our pictures are of the cloud tops.
Jupiter is a ball of gas,
and all we will see are clouds.
But they're very interesting, very dynamic clouds,
so it should be fun.
JunoCam is a unique element of the payload on this spacecraft
because from the outset
its reason for being on the payload
was to do outreach to the public.
We do not have enough data volume
to take a picture on every spin.
We are going to have to be choosy
and select what are the places that we want to take pictures of.
We are going to invite the amateur astronomy community
to send us their best data.
So, approximately a month away from when we take our data,
we will be collecting the pictures from the amateur astronomy community
and talk about why they would take a picture in any given latitude.
And so the whole theme is to do science in a fishbowl.
Let's do what we would do, but let's do it in a public forum
so that the public can participate
and I'll be very happy
if everybody gets involved the way I hope they do.
