NASA released new images of Jupiter

Images taken during a close first flyby of the giant gaseous planet. They reveal phenomena never before seen as auroras at the South Pole. Juno, a ship 3.6 tons, passed the point closest to Jupiter, only 4,200 km above its atmospheric height.

  NASA probe sends images of Jupiter’s poles

 A NASA space probe has sent the best images of Jupiter to date, which reveal turbulent storms in the North Pole. The north polar region of Jupiter is more tempestuous than expected and appears bluer than the rest of the planet, said mission chief scientist Scott Bolton, of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “It is very difficult to recognize Jupiter in this image,” Bolton said in a statement.

 NASA released a set of images of approaches taken last from Juno at a distance of 4,023 kilometers (2,500 miles) from the upper layers of Jupiter’s clouds week on Friday. During the tour of Juno from pole to pole, the probe that uses solar energy turned on his camera and instruments for data collection. The first glimpse of Jupiter’s poles was offered in 1974 when the Pioneer 11 probe flew past on his way to Saturn. Detailed photographs he took Juno “do not look like anything we’ve seen or imagined before,” said Bolton.

 Juno also sent unique images of Jupiter’s auroras, considered the strongest in the solar system. That was the first of three dozen routes near the mission planned for 20 months from the ship. Unlike Earth and Mars, which are rocky, Jupiter is a gas giant that is probably first formed shortly after the sun.

 The study of the solar system’s largest planet could provide clues to understanding how Earth and the other planets formed. June began orbiting Jupiter in July after a journey of five years to make a map of the giant poles and observe the atmosphere and the planet’s interior. The ship is the first equipped with a titanium vault designed to protect your computer and electronics from intense radiation. Juno is the second mission orbiting Jupiter. When completed in 2018, will fall deliberately and disintegrate in the atmosphere of Jupiter.
