It ’s been over a month since the Juno investigation flew over Jupiter , and while stargazer are fussy psychoanalyze the information , citizen scientist are producing incredible new image from the data supplied byJunoCam . The one above was created by Gerald Eichstädt and Seán Doran , after the flyby of July 10 , and is publish onNASA ’s website .

The two citizen scientists processed figure that were taken 16,535 kilometers ( 10,274 naut mi ) from the tops of the clouds of Jupiter at a latitude of -36.9 degrees . The image is a composite of snaps taken by JunoCam , which are all available in araw formatting online , where people can access them freely as well as help put   them together . Astrophotography lovers , like Eichstädt and Doran , have been doing marvelous   thing with these raw image .

July 10was the 7th flyby performed by Juno since its arrival at Jupiter in July last year . This flyby had a particular target area : the behemoth ’s notable Great Red Spot .

" For hundreds of years scientist have been observe , wondering and theorizing about Jupiter ’s Great Red Spot , " Scott Bolton , Juno principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio , said in astatementafter the successful flyby .

" Now we have the good pictures ever of this iconic storm . It will take us some metre to study all the data from not only JunoCam but Juno ’s eight skill instrument , to shed some unexampled visible radiation on the yesteryear , present , and future of the Great Red Spot . "

Scientists call for detailed mensuration of the Great Red Spot last April . It is now estimated to be 16,350 km ( 10,159 miles ) in diameter , or about 1.3 times as broad as Earth . The Spot is a mammoth hurricane and we still do n’t recognize exactly what ’s induce it . While the spot has been a key feature of Jupiter , it might have been a relatively late phenomenon .

Jupiter ’s atmosphere is very complex , which is why we sent Juno there . understand it is one of the mission ’s scientific objectives . The probe can mensurate the satellite ’s magnetic field and influence out if its sombreness is uniform or not . It can also see the major planet in multiple wavelength , which helps the scientist peering through the clouds . Hopefully , the Juno missionary work will   run to a better understanding of the Great Red Spot . The eighth flyby of the spacecraft over Jupiter is planned for September 1 , and we ’ll definitely be look forward to any new info that brings .
