JUNO:Jupiter flyby, Perijove 16/ Detail006 15.12.2018
Who would have ever though Jupiter would be so beautiful.
“On October 29, 2018, NASA's Juno probe successfully performed her Perijove-16 Jupiter flyby. This time, Juno's spin axis was pointed away from Earth, in order to obtain a better view to Jupiter for Juno's instruments. At the same time, solar conjunction was appraoching. So, the amount of data was more restricted for this perijove pass than usual.
JunoCam's priority was on high-quality close-up images. Images of the north polar region were dedicated for long-exposure observations close to the terminator.”
