The New Jupiter as Revealed by JunoScott J Bolton
Hi! I love the progress, the game looks really pretty, and I'm impressed with how it looks and how it appears to work! But I will say one thing: Jupiter (and indeed all of the gas giants) have blue atmospheres, not brown! It's because of rayleigh scattering, which is not unique ...
Early science results from NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter portray the largest planet in our solar system as a complex, gigantic, turbulent world, with Earth-sized polar cyclones, plunging storm systems that travel deep into the heart of the gas giant, and a mammoth, lumpy magnetic field that...
“Giant planets have deep atmospheres without a solid or liquid base like Earth,” he said. “To better understand what is happening deep into one of these worlds, you need to look below the cloud layer. Juno, which recently completed its 29th close-up science pass of Jupiter, does just ...
“The combination of creativity and analytical thinking has once again paid off big time for NASA,” Scott Bolton, Juno principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, said in the same statement. “We realized that the orbit was going to carry Juno into Jupiter’s ...
The Great Red Spot of Jupiter NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS/Kevin M. Gill The Great Red Spot of Jupiter During a close pass of Jupiter in February 2019, NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured the gas giant planet and its Great Red Spot, which is the site of a massive storm on the planet’...
NASA's spacecraft Juno did a flyby of Jupiter's moon Io to learn more about the lunar body's volcanic activity.
These images from NASA’s Juno mission show three views of a Jupiter “hot spot” — a break in Jupiter’s cloud deck that provides a glimpse into the planet’s deep atmosphere. The pictures were taken by the JunoCam imager during the spacecraft’s 29th close flyby of th...
which is the site of a massive storm on the planet’s surface. This view was created by citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill by compiling multiple images and data from the JunoCam. Juno was launched in 2011 and reached Jupiter in 2016. Its sole mission is to explore, study, and map the pl...
get onto Broadway at around 14th Street and keep going downtown, thru the East Village and Soho. Go all the way down to City Hall. Right next to City Hall is the Brooklyn Bridge. Walk over it; it’s cool. There is a boardwalk and there will be lots of happy people. Great view. ...
