Stunning Jupiter through the latest image of the Juno ship

NASA's Juno spacecraft just captures stunning close-up images of the planet's largest solar system.

Within 8 minutes of September 1, NASA's Juno spacecraft flew close to Jupiter, and captured four stunning close-up images of the planet for local citizens to admire.

'By the time the images are taken, the Juno ship flies at a distance of 12,143 km to 22,908 km from Jupiter's highest clouds at latitudes from 28.5 degrees south to 44.5 degrees south,' NASA said in the description of this image on my homepage.

This new image, in addition to scientific significance, also shows the agency's collaboration with citizen scientist Gerald Eichstädt and Sean Doran, who has handled many of the raw photographs of the Juno vessel and transformed them. into colorful images and very attractive and lively.

Talking about cooperation, NASA wants everyone to join in handling the raw images taken by their missions, and the image gallery is always open to the public at: https: //www.missionjuno. swri.edu/junocam.

Juno has elliptical orbits with very large semi-axes, so it takes 53.5 Earth days to complete a revolution around Jupiter. The spacecraft will gather the most data when it flies close to the planet, and it has completed 8 revolutions around Jupiter.

The $ 1.1 billion Juno spacecraft was launched in August 2011 and arrived on the planet on July 4, 2016. Since then, the ship has been constantly studying the structure and composition. and from the fascinating book of the giant planet. The collected data will reveal to scientists about the formation and development of Jupiter.

Juno is expected to end its mission in July 2018. But it will not end completely, scientists at NASA plan to let it continue to function at an extended mission and then end. end.
