This beautiful picture of Jupiter was assembled from three separate images acquired by Nasa's Juno spacecraft as it made another of its close passes of the gas giant. |

"Scientists hope their various investigations will reveal the key mechanisms that drove the spot and keep it from dissipating." Easy enough to present a partial answer to that one and it is partial. http://calgary.rasc.ca/images/planet_inclinations.gif Jupiter, with its 3 ° inclination, has an Equatorial climate which means conditions do not change appreciably across its orbital circuit or rather, the temperature fluctuations across latitudes based on the exposure to solar radiation is minimal compared to the Earth - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTig9gKegQk All planets in the solar system, so long as they have an atmosphere or any fluid composition, possess a climate between a spectrum of Equatorial and Polar with the Earth's climate towards the Equatorial end of the spectrum. Mathematical modelers of climate do not take into account the dynamics which provide seasonal effects arising from planetary motions and specifically dual surface rotations responsible for seasonal weather on a meta scale (hurricane season, Arctic sea ice evolution. ect) and localised weather depending on maritime or continental conditions. What is called 'climate change' presently is an attempt to present planetary climate in experimentalist form thereby omitting the traits on a solar system or planetary scale. |

It is precisely our ability to stretch the contrast and enhance color saturation (or even change the palette completely) that allows us to extend our senses and see that which we otherwise could not. If this image was processed to match the capabilities of our eyes, we'd miss large amounts of information. These enhancements allow us to see Jupiter much more "as it is" than if we didn't use them. |

There is NO way to tell if detail "created" via deconvolution, colour exaggeration or other "enhancement" methods is real or not. I remember these arguments when digital first got going in astronomy. |

Rubbish. All of the raw data is publicly available. https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/Vau...3&t=1528468966 https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/Vau...4&t=1528468966 https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/Vau...2&t=1528468966 Feel free to process it yourself, however you want. Feel free to compare the raw data to processed images made by other people. |
