Juno's Perijove 17 (Artist's Concept)

A CLOSER LOOK

Juno's 53-day orbit has presented the opportunity to observe Jupiter's dark side. This animation is an artist's rendition of Juno's inbound -- over Jupiter's north pole -- approach to Perijove 17 (which occurred on Dec. 21, 2018). During the flyby the SRU obtained the closest view of Jupiter's aurora with a visible light imager to date. Animation available at https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA22962
