Several images of Jupiter appeared on the network, which look exactly the same as if they flew over the planet and saw everything with their own eyes.
The frames show the creams, browns, whites and reds of Jupiter’s atmosphere.
This sort of processing is the approach used to transform astronomical images into something similar to what the naked human eye would see. Spaceships, robotic explorers, and telescopes have different filters that often capture more wavelengths than our eye can.
One of the goals of the project is to better understand Jupiter’s complex atmosphere and, in particular, the features of its clouds. Many of the photographs processed by the scientists made it possible to make the cloudiness more contrasting, demonstrating the stormy nature of Jupiter.
The images were taken by the Juno spacecraft on July 5th. This was the 43rd flyby of the ship around the planet.
