Data from NASA's Juno spacecraft was used to create this computer animation of a flight over Jupiter's clouds.
are usually flat images, but scientists wanted to know what the planet’s famous raging storms look like with a sense of depth so created 3D renders based on red-filtered image data from JunoCam.
The image that underlines the animation was taken from an altitude of 13,536 kilometers above the planet’s clouds on the probe’s 43rd close Jupiter flyby. The animation project was led by citizen scientist and space image processor Geral Eichstadt. The German mathematician regularly works on translating data from JunoCam into spectacular images.
“We can look at the same cloud features from very different angles within only a few minutes,” he said in a Europlanet statement on Wednesday. Eichstadt presented the results of the project at the Europlanet Science Congress meeting this week.
