The JunoCam instrument acquired the view on August 27, 2016, when the spacecraft was about 58,700 miles (94,500 kilometers) above the polar region. “Directly, the images show Jupiter. “Just like we have water rain on Earth, Jupiter may have helium rain inside the planet, and this could alter the magnetic field,” lead author Moore tells Choi.

We ran through a similar set of tests for the south pole. The images are spaced about 10 hours apart, one Jupiter day, so the Great Red Spot is always in roughly the same place. Discuss: Jupiter looks very Earth-y in new NASA Juno image Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System and, because of that, it's been photographed many, many times. We delete comments that violate But, through slight variations in the images, they indirectly capture the motion of the Juno spacecraft itself, once again swinging around a giant planet hundreds of millions of miles from Earth.”Juno first arrived at Jupiter in July of 2016 after being launched way back in 2011. Jones at reports that there are a couple of ideas about what lies beneath Jupiter. The huge, mysterious hexagon at Saturn's north pole may finally have an explanation. English
A second version of the image shows the same view with a latitude/longitude grid overlaid.Juno was about 48,000 miles (78,000 kilometers) above Jupiter's polar cloud tops when it captured this view, showing storms and weather unlike anywhere else in the solar system.Along with the instruments Juno is also carrying three tiny passengers in the form of Lego figures, made from spacecraft-grade Aluminium. In those layers, the composition of the fluid may be in flux, altering the way the fluid flows inside the core which in turn alters the magnetic field.There are other factors that could explain the weird field as well. As Nasa's Juno spacecraft closed in on Jupiter for its Aug. 27, 2016 pass, its view grew sharper and fine details in the north polar region became increasingly visible.
The idea is that an electrically conductive fluid—in the case of Earth that’s liquid iron—passes over a weak magnetic field generating an electrical current. ... A never-before-seen perspective on Jupiter's south pole. This image from NASA's Juno spacecraft provides a never-before-seen perspective on Jupiter's south pole. The small black spots visible on the planet in some of the images are shadows of the large Galilean moons.This image provides a close-up view of Jupiter's southern hemisphere, as seen by NASA's Juno spacecraft on August 27, 2016. Its primary mission is two years of science observation of the planet, which it is scheduled to wrap up in about six months from now. Is this why the clouds at the south pole look blue, i.e. “That’s the Jupiter we’ve all known and grown to love,” said Bolton. Mike Wehner has reported on technology and video games for the past decade, covering breaking news and trends in VR, wearables, smartphones, and future tech.
Citizen-scientist Gerald Eichstädt then reworked the raw Juno image to really make it pop.
We went from the north pole to the south pole, practically skimming the cloud tops."
It's challenging to try to catch both the dark parts of Jupiter and the brighter sun-lit regions at the same time. The transition between the banded structures near the equator and the more chaotic polar region (south of about 65 degrees south latitude) can be clearly seen.
“Jupiter's winds might also reach down to depths where there's sufficient electrical conductivity to affect the field.”Hopefully, as Juno continues swooping around the planet, more data will help us figure out Jupiter's strange magnetism.
Jason Daley is a Madison, Wisconsin-based writer specializing in natural history, science, travel, and the environment. In the case of Earth, the red lines would emerge at the magnetic north pole, curl around the planet, re-enter and turn blue at the south pole. reporting is second only to his gaming addiction. By His love of This image shows Jupiter’s south pole, as seen by NASA’s Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers). The JunoCam instrument captured this image with its red spectral filter when the spacecraft was about 23,600 miles (38,000 kilometers) above the cloud tops.

Jupiter’s Magnetic Field Is Super Weird and Has Two South Poles ... the red lines would emerge at the magnetic north pole, curl around the planet, re-enter and turn blue at the south pole.
