NASAs Juno spacecraft observed the intricate colors and structure of Jupiters clouds on July 5, 2022, as it finished its 43rd close flyby of the giant world.
Resident researcher Björn Jónsson from Iceland produced these two images using raw information from the JunoCam instrument aboard the spacecraft. Juno was about 3,300 miles (5,300 kilometers) above Jupiters cloud tops, at a latitude of about 50 degrees at the time the raw image was taken.
The second image comes from the same raw data, however in this case, Jónsson digitally processed it to increase both the color saturation and contrast to hone small-scale features and to minimize compression artifacts and sound that usually appear in raw images.
