The attached PDF is a report on the PJ17 images. Highlights include:
--A view of Io with a visible volcanic plume;
--The shadow of Amalthea on the EZ, plus a mysterious tiny dark spot on NEBn;
--A map covering much of the planet at the start of the new apparition;
--Fine details of the NTB rifted region with hazes and clouds at different levels;
--The ochre-coloured EZ, with some mesoscale waves;
--JunoCam’s first good view of oval BA, now almost white; its rapid circulation has been visualised.
The full-size figures will be added in a subsequent ZIP file.
