When team members from NASA’s Juno mission invited the
public to process JunoCam images, they did not anticipate that they would
receive back such beautiful, creative expressions of art.
The oranges and grayed-out regions of blue-green in this tiled and color-enhanced image resemble a color scheme much like Romantic era paintings, but more abstract. The lack of discreet objects to focus on allows the mind to seek familiar Earthly shapes, and the brightest spots seem to draw the eye.
Citizen scientist Eric Jorgensen created this Jovian artwork with a JunoCam image taken when the spacecraft was at an altitude of 11,100 miles (17,800 kilometers) above Jupiter’s cloudtops on Dec. 11, 2016 at 9:22 a.m. PT (12:22 p.m. ET).
JunoCam's raw images are available at www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam for the public to peruse and process into image products.
