Juno's Perijove-06 Jupiter Flyby, Reconstructed in 125-Fold Time-Lapse

About

On May 19, 2017, NASA's Juno spacecraft performed her "Perijove 06" flyby at Jupiter. Due to good contact with Earth during this phase of the mission, several JunoCam images of good quality could be taken and sent back to Earth, despite JunoCam's memory limitations. These images provided a good basis to create textures for a flyby animation. SPICE trajectory data allowed to reconstruct approximately Jupiter's appearance for each point along Juno's trajectory during the flyby. The movie shows a strongly contrast-enhanced view of Jupiter in very detail. Each still frame of the movie has been calculated directly from the respective raw image. JunoCam's raw Perijove-06 RGB images #098 to #137 went into this computer animation.
