[–] oracle_of_vp@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (4 children) Why is this so different looking compared with the previous Jupiter pictures? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 10 months ago Perspective (this is a view from up/downsides, where the clouds/atmosphere behaves differently), and, I presume, different colour processing (fitting the colour spectrum into what is visible to the human eye, which is not necessarily straightforward). permalink fedilink source parent [–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago* (1 child) Good question. I went looking for a source and am going to stop now but here are some links. I suspect the source is one of the social media links here: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?id=17921 It doesn't give much info for the specifics of how it was processed: This processed view enhances cloud-top texture and reveals swirling filaments, compact vortices, and bright high-altitude clouds embedded in a chaotic flow. It does list the source data for processing as this: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?id=JNCE_2023250_54C00143_V01 Here is a brief summary of the instrument from one of the groups involved with the Junocam: https://www.msss.com/all_projects/junocam.php permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] oracle_of_vp@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago Wow many thanks for the background info. The picture really is amazing 😊 permalink fedilink source parent [–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 3 points 10 months ago You can see that it’s a shot from one of the poles. Also, keep in mind that while the patterns in weather last a long time, they aren’t set in stone. The way Jupiter looks slowly changes over time, just like any other planet. Even the Big Red Spot hasn’t been there forever, and will eventually disappear. permalink fedilink source parent
