NASA's
Juno spacecraft was a little more than one Earth diameter from Jupiter
when it captured this mind-bending, color-enhanced view of the planet's
tumultuous atmosphere.
Jupiter completely fills the image, with only a hint of the terminator
(where daylight fades to night) in the upper right corner, and no
visible limb (the curved edge of the planet).
Juno took this image of colorful, turbulent clouds in Jupiter's northern
hemisphere on Dec. 16, 2017 at 9:43 a.m. PST (12:43 p.m. EST) from
8,292 miles (13,345 kilometers) above the tops of Jupiter's clouds, at a
latitude of 48.9 degrees.
The spatial scale in this image is 5.8 miles/pixel (9.3
kilometers/pixel)..
Citizen scientists Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Doran processed this image
using data from the JunoCam imager.
