NASA's Juno spacecraft has sailed 1,7 billion miles over five years to reach Jupiter's orbit. The long journey was worth it.
Since 2016, the orbiter's JunoCam instrument has captured spectacular images of the gas giant. The latest batch of downloads is no exception and could be some of the most captivating. Images include contributions from citizen scientists and space enthusiasts that use publicly available JunoCam raw images for processing into image products.
If you want to take part, NASA advises: “The types of image editing we'd like to see range from simply cropping an image to highlighting a specific atmospheric feature, as well as adding your own color enhancements, creating collages, and adding advanced color reconstruction.” Anyone can download the raw files and upload their contributions to JunoCam Community Pagewhich also includes discussions and access to think tank chats that NASA describes as "scientific sausage making in action."
