NASA recreates iconic time lapse footage of Juno spacecraft 'flying' over Jupiter

On October 10, NASA shared foot that compiled ims from its Ju mission in which craft performed its 27th close flyby of Jupiter on June 2. Taking to its official Twitter handle, NASA asked buffs to check out what it might have looked like to “fly” over Jupiter. “During craft's closest approach on June 2, 2020, it came within ~2,100 miles (~3,400 kilometers) of gas giant’s cloud tops,” NASA said. 

NASA reconstructed iconic flyover using approximately 2,703 still frames in a 125-fold time-lapse. In foot, Ju craft came within approximately 2,100 miles (3,400 kilometers) to Jupiter’s cloud tops, as it accelerated to near giant planet at about 130,000 mph (209,000 kilometers per hour). video was compiled by citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill, NASA informed in release, ding, that scientist compiled almost 41 JuCam still ims and n digitally projected onto a sphere. “ original JuCam ims were taken on June 2, 2020, between 2:47 a.m. PDT (5:47 a.m. EDT) and 4:25 a.m. PDT (7:25 a.m. EDT),” NASA said in release.

Ju’s gars info on planet formation

In NASA’s Ju mission craft rode to  Jupiter with 27th close flybys on June 2, 2020. According to NASA, Ju’s aim was to gar more information about planet’s formation and evolution using long term techlogies installed on spinning craft that entered elliptical polar orbit of Jupiter. “Ju would observe Jupiter's gravity and magnetic fields, atmospheric dynamics and composition, and evolution,” astromers said in a press release. mission was launched in August 5, 2011, and will end July 2021. “An ditional 41 months in orbit around Jupiter and will enable Ju to achieve its primary science objectives,” NASA said.
