Juno
The juno spacecraft passed over the poles of Jupiter last Saturday.
Using NASA's Eyes application, I followed the approach in the simulator in my Mac. Saturday everything went OK, and I waited for the photographs... that didn't come. Well, NASA is processing the photographs, I said to myself and waited all Sunday. Nothing. Maybe Monday? Nothing on Monday. Nor in Tueday... The well known planetary society, publishes a blog written by Emily Lakdawalla. http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily...ter-close.html quote I don't know what other images have been planned, because the mission has inexplicably chosen not to share information with the public about those plans. This is really weird, because Cassini and New Horizons were both very open about their plans for imaging with their science cameras. Juno's JunoCam is an instrument intended specifically for public outreach, and yet they're keeping information about it close to the vest. Apart from the types of imaging mentioned in the press release, there has been discussion of attempting 3D imaging of clouds by taking images closely spaced in time as the spacecraft passes from north to south. There was also an opportunity to image Ganymede yesterday. We'll have to wait and see! end quote She wrote that on Saturday. Today is thursday, and still nothing yet. What can they possible have seen that is so secret that nobody can see it? This becomes really interesting now. |
