2020年10月19日 A Flight over Jupiter Near the Great Red Spot Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS; Video Processing & License: Kevin M. Gill; Music: Vangelis Explanation: Are you willing to wait to see the largest and oldest known storm system in the Solar System? In the featured video, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot finally makes its appearance 2 minu...
Cyclones at the north pole of Jupiter appear as swirls of striking colors in this extreme false color rendering of an image from NASA’s Juno mission. The huge, persistent cyclone found at Jupiter’s north pole is visible at the center of the image, encircled by smaller cyclones that range in size from 2,500 to 2,900 miles (4,000 to 4,600 kilometers). Together...
Jupiter’s volcanically active moon Io casts its shadow on the planet in this dramatic image from NASA’s Juno spacecraft. As with solar eclipses on the Earth, within the dark circle racing across Jupiter’s cloud tops one would witness a full solar eclipse as Io passes in front of the Sun. Such events occur frequently on Jupiter because it is...
A multitude of magnificent, swirling clouds in Jupiter’s dynamic North North Temperate Belt is captured in this image from NASA’s Juno spacecraft. Appearing in the scene are several bright-white “pop-up” clouds as well as an anticyclonic storm, known as a white oval. This color-enhanced image was taken at 4:58 p.m. EDT on Oct. 29, 201...
NASA’s Juno mission captured this look at Jupiter’s tumultuous northern regions during the spacecraft’s close approach to the planet on Feb. 17, 2020. Notable features in this view are the long, thin bands that run through the center of the image from top to bottom. Juno has observed these long streaks since its first close pass by Jupiter ...
See Jupiter’s Great Red Spot as you’ve never seen it before in this work of art. Artist Mik Petter created this unique, digital artwork using data from the JunoCam imager on NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The art form, known as fractals, uses mathematical formulas to create art with an infinite variety of form, detail, color and light. The tumultuous atmospheric zo...
2017年9月1日，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的朱诺号（Juno）木星探测器上的JunoCam成像仪捕捉到了这幅木星南部赤道地区的图片。由于该图像是定向拍摄的，因此木星的两级（不可见）从左至右分布在框架内。 版权：NASA/喷气推进实验室-加州理工学院（JPL-Caltech）/美国西南研究院（Southwest Research Institute, SwRI）/马林空间科学系统公司（Malin Space Science Systems, MSSS）/凯文•M•吉尔（Kevin M. Gill） NASA的朱诺号任务提供了其关于木星大气中水含量的首次测量结果。根据近期发表于《自然天文学》（Nature Astronomy）期刊上的朱诺号探测器的测量结果估计，在木星的赤道地区，水分子占大气中分子的0.25...
2020 February 25 Jupiter’s Magnetic Field from Juno Video Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, Harvard U., K. Moore et al. Explanation: How similar is Jupiter’s magnetic field to Earth’s? NASA’s robotic Juno spacecraft has found that Jupiter’s magnetic field is surprisingly complex, so that the Jovian world does not have single magnetic p...
Thick white clouds are present in this JunoCam image of Jupiter’s equatorial zone. These clouds complicate the interpretation of infrared measurements of water. At microwave frequencies, the same clouds are transparent, allowing Juno’s Microwave Radiometer to measure water deep into Jupiter’s atmosphere. The image was acquired during Juno&#...
