Juno at PJ55
Here is our report on the JunoCam images at PJ55. The highlight was Juno’s closest-yet flyby of Io, showing plenty of surface detail, and volcanic plumes from Prometheus and Zamama. Because of the Io flyby, the global map of Jupiter was incomplete; but the best inbound images did cover an interesting sector of the NEB, including White Spot Z and a notable bright plume outbreak (image below; described fully in our ground-based 2023/23 Report no.1). Juno’s north polar map was particularly complete, showing all but one of the circumpolar cyclones (image below).
