Mike, is there an explanation for the occasional missing frame seen at the beginning of some of the "wide" (~180º spin) raw images?

A couple of angry looking storms visible

Looks to me like our ground data system didn't command quite enough frames to catch the top limb of the planet in the red channel -- maybe it incorrectly assumes there can't be more than 40 frames in a nadir-centered image, which due to roundoff is not quite true. I'll take a look at it.

This is a preliminary map-projected version of image PJ21_26. The Great Red Spot in on the limb in the original raw image, therefore a part of it is 'missing' here and Jupiter's sky is visible with huge vertical exaggeration. Approximately true color/contrast.

Be patient, the GRS views get better. We're still having some data dropout problems, I'd expect another push of images tomorrow.

Nearly all of the PJ21 images are on missionjuno now -- one image is still partial AFAIK.

Ah, Juno got nice view of the Great Red Spot. Some preliminary processing of it:

PJ21_16 [GE/SD]

Beautiful work as always, Kevin. Interesting to compare this to what Damien Peach saw back in June -- http://damianpeach.com/jup19/2019-06-03-0500_3-RGBdp.jpg -- doesn't look all that different except that scalloped stuff to the east seems to have smoothed out.

Well, it's interesting... In not-very-scientific measurements from Perijoves 7, 12, 18, & 21, there appears to be a measurable longitudinal shrinking of the GRS:

With a linear decline in width up to Perijove 18, then a sharper decline to Perijove 21 which matches the timing of the detachments observed by Damien Peach.

I noticed that there is no image number 33 at the MissionJuno website. Is that the one that is still partial? If there is an image number 33 that's actually probably a very interesting image that should show areas north and/or west of the GRS very well.


Something comparable has also been measured from ground based images, see http://alpo-j.asahikawa-med.ac.jp/kk19/j190624r.htm and http://pianeti.uai.it/index.php/Jupiter:_2019_Animated_gif

Correct. Image 33 taken 04:32:27. The dropout is small but goes right across the GRS in one channel (of course.) I'd expect it to be pushed by mid-week next week one way or another.

The last image from PJ21 is on missionjuno now.

Awesome - thanks. This image is even more interesting/better than I was expecting it to be.

Just for comparison, a lovely Hubble view (taken June 27) has been released:

I posted a PJ21 Great Red Spot (GRS) mosaic in a different thread which also contains GRS mosaics from earlier perijoves. A bigger version of the mosaic covering a bigger area can be found at the Juno website.

Below are enhanced images showing specific features from the mosaic. The first one shows the convective storms west and northwest of the GRS. It has been processed to reveal subtle features within the very bright convective feature northwest of the GRS. The second one shows the STB spectre.

PJ21 Flyover video. Certainly not perfect. Motion tracks spice data, but camera rotation does not.
