Painting with Jupiter
Image Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, SwRI, MSSS; Processing: Rick Lundh
Explanation: In digital brush strokes, Jupiter’s signature atmospheric bands and vortices were used to form this interplanetary post-impressionist work of art. The creative image from citizen scientist Rick Lundh uses data from the Juno spacecraft’s JunoCam. To paint on the digital canvas, a JunoCam image with contrasting light and dark tones was chosen for processing and an oil-painting software filter applied. The image data was captured during perijove 10. That was Juno’s December 16, 2017 close encounter with the solar system’s ruling gas giant. At the time the spacecraft was cruising about 13,000 kilometers above northern Jovian cloud tops. Now in an extended mission, Juno has explored Jupiter and its moons since entering orbit around Jupiter in July of 2016.

以木星为画笔的画作

说明: 以木星标志性的云带和涡漩为笔触，画出了这幅行星级的后印象派画作。具体来说，这张深具创意的影像，是由公民科学家Rick Lundh，使用朱诺号探测器朱诺相机的数据创作出来的。要画出这幅数位画作，底图的首选是一张明暗分明的朱诺号影像，然后再施加油画特效的滤镜。所选用的影像，则是在2017年12月16日，由朱诺号摄于第10个近木轨道上。拍照时，探测器在木星北半球云顶上方约13,000公里高处，高速掠过这颗太阳系最大的气态巨行星。目前在执行延伸任务的朱诺号，自2016年7月入轨木星后，就不停的探测木星及其卫星。
