Juno captures the scene of Jupiter's huge cloud formation at 3,000 km

Jul 24, 2018 12:38 AM EDT

Juno has sent an image to the Earth exploring an amazing scene where clouds are forming at high altitude on the surface of Jupiter. The image of the various clouds that can be seen on the earth is beautiful, but the image that shows the image of the cloud of Jupiter's cloud is not equal to this image was revealed on space business siteSpace.com on the 20th (local time).

This astounding image is just one of the many scientific "wallpapers" that NASO's Jupiter probe Juno has been raising over the last two years, continuing its exploration activities around orbit.

Juno is doing an important mission to uncover the chemical composition, temperature and structure of this gigantic gas planet Jupiter's atmosphere, which boasts spectacular stripes.

In this exploration, Juno concluded that these Jupiter clouds start at high altitudes and extend to 3,000 km on the surface of Jupiter, a researcher from the June mission team said.

One of Juno's equipments is dedicated to sending "postcard from Jupiter" to his hometown planet, called JunoCam, through a public vote and choosing a target to shoot in each orbit. The amateur processor then uncovers all the raw images so that they can be machined and corrected.

The result is a remarkable image of the North Temperate Belt, one of the eye-catching streaks of Jupiter. By the time this image was taken, Juno was only 6,200 km from the top of the planet 's cloud. Considering that the diameter of Jupiter is 140,000 km, this is an amazing approach.

This image, released by NASA on the 19th, was captured at the 14th close in June. Until July 2021, the Juno probe will carry out explorations around Jupiter orbit.
