NASA’s Juno spacecraft was
racing away from Jupiter following its seventh close pass of the planet when
JunoCam snapped this image on May 19, 2017, from about 29,100 miles (46,900
kilometers) above the cloud tops. The spacecraft was over 65.9degrees
south latitude, with a lovely view of the south polar region of the planet.
This image was processed
to enhance color differences, showing the amazing variety in Jupiter’s stormy
atmosphere. The result is a surreal world of vibrant color, clarity and
contrast. Four of the white oval storms known as the “String of Pearls” are
visible near the top of the image. Interestingly, one orange-colored storm can
be seen at the belt-zone boundary, while other storms are more of a cream
color.
JunoCam's raw images are
available for the public to peruse and process into image products in the image processing gallery.
