JunoCam at PJ27
PJ27 was on Tuesday June 2, and a typical set of superb images was taken.
Our report is posted here in two parts. Part I is based mainly on the ‘version 01’ images posted by the JunoCam team. Part II (posted on August 1) is based on full-quality maps and images produced by Gerald Eichstädt and by Björn Jónsson.
The highlight was the closeup imaging of ‘Clyde’s spot’, a new convective plume that erupted two days earlier in a faint cyclonic spot in the STB latitudes, as discovered by Clyde Foster. A broader account of this is his 2-page abstract for the EPSC, attached herewith.
