NASA: Seeing Jupiter（注視木星）

This image of Jupiter’s southern hemisphere was captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft on the outbound leg of a close flyby of the gas-giant planet. Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill created this image using data from the spacecraft’s JunoCam imager.

這張來自木星南半球的圖像是由NASA的朱諾號航天器在近距離飛越這顆氣態巨行星的過程當中拍攝的．公民科學家（＂公民科學家＂是指沒有通過相關專業訓練但參與科學研究工做的業餘科學愛好者，例如以網絡的方式參與科學研究的基礎性工做，導航狗注）Kevin M. Gill使用來自朱諾號航天器上的JunoCam成像儀提供的數據製做了這張圖片．

 

The color-enhanced image was taken at 11:31 p.m. PDT on May 23, 2018 (2:31 a.m. EDT on May 24), as the spacecraft performed its 13th close flyby of Jupiter. At the time, Juno was about 44,300 miles (71,400 kilometers) from the planet’s cloud tops, above a southern latitude of 71 degrees.

這張彩色加強的圖片拍攝於太平洋標準時間(PDT)2018年05月23日晚上11點31分（美國東部時間05月24日凌晨兩點三十一分），此時是朱諾號航天器第31次近距離飛越木星．

 

JunoCam takes advantage of Juno’s unique polar orbit, studying the atmospheric dynamics and clouds right up to Jupiter’s poles, which no spacecraft has ever done before.

JunoCam成像儀得益於朱諾號獨一無二的極地軌道，對木星的大氣動力學和雲層進行研究，在此以前，歷來沒有其餘航天器作過相似的事情．
