National Astronomical Research Institute (Public Organization) (NARIT) released images of the “Jet N7” area, an area of turbulent atmosphere near the north pole of Jupiter. (approximately 69 degrees north latitude) Its appearance resembles a hair-raising face. In fact, it could be said to be the result of “pareidolia,” a psychological phenomenon in which our brains try to make sense of our surroundings. Then imagine what looks like a face or various forms. Even though this picture is just the line between the day and night hemispheres of Jupiter. Moreover, the angle of incidence of sunlight reveals clouds and turbulent storms. Helping astronomers Able to study Jupiter’s atmosphere even better.
This image was taken by the JunoCam camera on the Juno spacecraft during its 54th orbit around Jupiter, approximately 7,700 kilometers above the atmosphere, on September 7, 2023. It was processed by citizen scientist Vladimir Tarasov. It uses raw files, which are the original data from the JunoCam cameras that are publicly accessible.

As for Jupiter, it is about to orbit in its closest position to Earth this year on November 3, 2023. This is a good opportunity for those who want to observe or take photos on that day. When the sun goes down Jupiter will appear bright in the east. Observable with the naked eye all night until dawn If you look through a telescope Measuring 4 inches in diameter with a magnification of 30 times or more, the four Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, and Jupiter’s beautiful cloud belts can be observed. And if you use a magnification power of 100 times or more, you can see the big red spot. A giant cyclone that is 1.3 times larger than Earth is clearly visible.
