木星喧嚣的云彩
这张令人惊叹的木星北半球风暴的图片是由美国宇航局的朱诺号飞船在近距离飞越这颗气态巨行星时拍摄的。在木星圆盘的右侧，可以看到一些在高空的明亮的白云。 “朱诺号”于2019年5月29日美国东部时间凌晨3点52分至凌晨4点03分拍摄了这四张用来产生这张彩色增强图的图片，当时“朱诺号”正在对木星进行第20次科学探测。在拍摄这些照片时，这艘宇宙飞船位于木星云层上方11,600英里(18,600公里)至5,400英里(8,600公里)之间，位于北纬59度至34度之间。 公民科学家凯文·M·吉尔利用宇宙飞船JunoCam成像仪的数据制作了这幅图像。公众可以通过https://missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing浏览JunoCam的原始图像以及处理后的图像产品。 This stunning image of Jupiter’s stormy northern hemisphere was captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it performed a close pass of the gas giant planet. Some bright-white clouds can be seen popping up to high altitudes on the right side of Jupiter’s disk. Juno took the four images used to produce this color-enhanced view on May 29, 2019, between 3:52 a.m. EDT and 4:03 a.m. EDT, as the spacecraft performed its 20th science pass of Jupiter. At the time the images were taken, the spacecraft was between 11,600 miles (18,600 kilometers) and 5,400 miles (8,600 kilometers) above Jupiter’s cloud tops, above a northern latitude spanning from about 59 to 34 degrees. Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill created this image using data from…
