Dr. Gerald Eichstädt's new video provides a wondrous look at Jupiter's stormy atmosphere.
. The probe was first launched back on Aug. 5, 2011 and arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016. JunoCam was fitted onto Juno to help generate public excitement for the decade-old Jovian mission and to provide citizen scientists and working astronomers easy access to the images obtained during planetary flybys.
By collecting the intensity data of visible light captured by the camera, this information served as foundational material to create a breathtaking 3D elevation landscape. Dr Eichstädt's animated short reveals a pass made at an altitude of 8,410 miles above Jupiter's billowing cloud tops while zooming past on its 43rd flyby.
"The Juno mission provides us with an opportunity to observe Jupiter in a way which is essentially inaccessible by Earth-based telescopic observations. We can look at the same cloud features from very different angles within only a few minutes,""This has opened up a new opportunity to derive 3D elevation models of Jupiter's cloud tops. The images of the wonderful chaotic
