JunoCam at PJ31
Here is our report on the JunoCam images at PJ31 (2020 Dec.30). Highlights include a flash of lightning detected in one of the northern circumpolar cyclones; closeup views of the NTB and NEB now that they have completed their big upheavals; a view of the convective plumes in the SEB following the GRS; and mapping of the southern circumpolar cyclones that confirms the cyclic motion of the pentagon. The final ground-based maps of the 2020 apparition, covering the PJ31 track, are also included.
