JunoCam at PJ32
Here is our report on the JunoCam images at PJ32, in our usual format. Highlights include:
–a map showing much of the planet during geocentric solar conjunction;
–interesting updates on the arrangements of the polar polygons;
–beautiful images of turbulence in the northern domains and of a segment of NNTB;
–revelation of very-fine-scale turbulence in the now-quiescent NTB and NEB;
–many wave patterns in the EZ and SEB(S);
–discovery of a new S.Tropical Band emanating from a ‘hook’ at the GRS;
–closeups of the expanded turbulent STB following oval BA;
–haze bands showing rapid reversals of contrast on the edge of the S. Polar Hood.
