Junocam, the light imaging visible on board the Juno of NASA spacecraft, captured this view of the high latitudes of the north of Jupiter during the 69th overview of the giant planet of the spaceship.
Junocam original data used to produce this view were drawn from an altitude of around 36,000 miles (58,000 kilometers) above the summits of the Jupiter cloud. Junocam’s raw images are available so that the public can travel and transform into image products. Citizen scientist Jackie Branc treated the image.
Since Juno arrived in Jupiter in 2016, he surveyed under the dense and prohibited clouds surrounding the giant planet – the first orbiter to be brought together so closely. He seeks answers to questions on the origin and evolution of Jupiter, our solar system and giant planets through the cosmos.
