Pictures taken of Jupiter with NASA's $1 billion dollar probe

Nice *cough*PAINTING*cough* picture, bro.

?????

What's that old saying, one picture is worth a billion dollars.

It waxes and wanes over time. It may eventually collapse, but the fluid dynamics of the system indicate that, if it does, another sill form.

Very little. But the scale is so far off of anything you're used to looking at, it throws you perceptions.

What makes these things so expensive?

Just be glad you wouldn't fall into Saturn you'd be slowly be torn apart.

>Passing through ammonia, shards of ice, and sheering winds (in addition to the frigid distance from the sun)
Sounds fun

If you're gonna troll, at least do it well.

...

why no videos?

Because (((they))) can't fake the videos

these missions are for scientific research, not cute, visible light coloured images for retards to briefly glance at and never look at again. Producing something like OP's pic is an after-after thought.

kek

Shill

so you can't get scientific data from video?

>JunoCam is not one of the probe's core scientific instruments; it was put on board primarily for public science and outreach, to increase public engagement, and all images will be available on NASA's website.

It can be done, but it was not a part of the mission. Other science was of higher priority. This thing runs on a fraction of normal satellite power due to it being the furthest solar powered satellite from the sun, and operates in a complex radiation environment. Many many factors where involved with the design of this mission and returning a couple seconds or minutes of video where literally nothing distinguishable happen in frame is pointless.

If you wanted to see movement you'll need a timelapse, because most of the structures in the pic in OP are comparable in size to continents on earth. That large spot is more than twice the diameter of earth.

Playing devils advocate here. They put a specialised module in there for capturing images, why will they not record video if it is indeed for public outreach?

>tfw you will never live in a space habitat orbiting Jupiter

Hold me bros

I want to stick my penis is that swirling gaseous hole.

>Many many factors where involved with the design of this mission and returning a couple seconds or minutes of video where literally nothing distinguishable happen in frame is pointless.

If you were David Bowman, sent as a scout, then you would learn that there were proto-life forms, cloud-beings vaguely sifting among the electricity and noise. But you would be instructed that probalistically, these had no evolutionary future, and so you would be spurred on to the next world—Europa.

Here, have a (you)

>Hold me bros
Relax. Singularity incoming.

Once they have enough pictures, you'll probably get some kind of timelapse video

Things move slowly in space. Why have a 2 hour long video taking up God knows how much space when you can have a time-lapse of a few dozen pictures showing the exact same thing

Don't worry user, you might be one of the last generations that won't get to before death

Why do storms on Earth get smaller?

It is part of a much larger weather system. Energy is bound to be lost at times, it may be gained at other times.

It would be a greater mystery if it just stayed the same.

Juno is in a 53 day orbit of Jupiter. I'm not sure how long the trip around the periapsis is but remember, video is just a series of pictures and they would have to take 24 of these pictures, at least, per second for what we class as video which means you would need a lower resolution, it would still take up more space, you won't get a hell of a lot of information from a short video (just look up for a minute and think about what information you gained), storage they have onboard is quite limited and often slow (I don't know if Juno has solid state storage, some of the active probes still use tape storage) and they need to use that storage for scientific measurements as well.

Not that guy, and not that I don't agree with the rest, but
>if it's not ssd storage it's too slow for a fucking video

That's not what he said. In fact, he just even went on to point out that some are take deck. I think it's more so, they don't have the room to record all of that video. 2 hours of 720p at 24 fps video is roughly 22gb. What is the point? What could you possibly capture in 2 hours of video that you couldn't in a series of stills?

Reliable storage is important. I don't think standard hard drives have been used because they're less reliable than tape and SSD. There have been cases of tape getting stuck and they just reprogram it so that it doesn't rewind to the stuck point when clearing data, removing part of the available storage but keeping functionality.
With HDDs far more often a failure takes out the entire drive. You can add backup drives but then that's more weight, etc

SSD is more likely to be the next storage because it is easier to segment out so that you have redundancy without increasing weight much and is very reliable.

they dont have the power to do it, or the bandwidth to send it home, and orbits are fucking slow that pictures seperated by an hour is good enough for "video"

I wish they had a "normal" camera to take photos so there isn't this massive amount of post processing needed.

all of the data required to make a visible light picture is collected, just not in that format to increase scientific data and total data throughput to earth

>space and NASA shit brings out the loonies.

Every god damn time. Anyone remember when science was science and not just another tool to help rip apart foreign societies via grass roots campaigns and web brigades?

If you gave it a bit more thought, you would have realized I already know how it is done.

thanks for the answers about video

Again, many factors are involved with the missions design, but as a result the craft spins at about 3rpm.

"At three rotations per minute, the instruments' fields of view sweep across Jupiter about 400 times in the two hours it takes to fly from pole to pole." This is so that all the instruments on board can get some personal time with Jupiter. The video would capture 18 second flashes of Jupiter gliding by followed by a couple seconds of darkness for the 2 hours it is on close approach.

The closest you'll get are time lapses.

People seem to be posting them for every perijove

This isn't a real, unedited picture of jupiter buddy.

It is real. It was found on NASA's website

>$ 1 billion dollar photo
>its shopped

A government website huh? Oh okay then.

If they can get a close up photo of Jupiter, why the fuck have they never produced a high quality photo of the Apollo landing sites on the moon? Riddle me that.

if you gave it a bit more thought you would have realized you're an idiot

pleb needs to see a picture instead of just the math HHAH GAYYYY

>spend $1 billion on a probe
>don't put even a smartphone tier camera on board

GO TO FUCKING MARS ALREADY (((NASA)))

>NASA
>in charge of being honest
HAHAHAHAHA

I have no idea what you're talking about but the whole idea of that stuff is to be pervasive, if the ideas weren't normalized everywhere it wouldn't have an effect

A close up photo of the Apollo landing sites does not produce any new science, so it is hard to justify spending budget on. If you want a HD photo of the Apollo landers, go send a camera there on your own dime.

>If you want a HD photo of the Apollo landers, go send a camera there on your own dime.

Who funds NASA again?

Not you.

As a taxpayer, I believe I do.

That isn't a close up photo of Jupiter though.

Think for a second, the entire Moon would fit into that storm about seven times. This photo is a long, long way away.

The LRO has done photography of the landing sites. You can see in the photos tracks from the buggies and tracks left by the astronauts.

Face it, they could land a high definition Internet controlled camera at one of the landing sites so that you could view from it and move it around to see the whole area and you would still say that you could computer render it and splash in some photoshop.

China sent a probe to the surface and found it to be like what the Apollo missions said it was. It's time for you to stop making yourself doubt.

>The LRO has done photography of the landing sites.

The LRO must have cost about $30 because the camera is a piece of shit.

>Face it, they could land a high definition Internet controlled camera at one of the landing sites so that you could view from it and move it around to see the whole area and you would still say that you could computer render it and splash in some photoshop.

Scientists should always be sceptical of broadcasted video. Hardly empirical.

>China sent a probe to the surface and found it to be like what the Apollo missions said it was. It's time for you to stop making yourself doubt.

I'm afraid I require a thing called evidence. Photos and video are not scientific evidence.

Exactly. You're not going to be satisfied.

Yeah this guy could see it in person and still deny it.

Why does space always look fake as fuck? Soft, blurred edges and complete black backdrops.

And you are satisfied with pictures? Doesn't take much does it?

I'm satisfied with the pictures, because you have to be a skeptic in the first place to be asking for more evidence.

>Soft, blurred edges
Atmosphuckingere.

>complete black backdrops
Because you're exposing for the planet/body, not for the stars which are much dimmer.

It only looks fake to people who don't know shit about photography.

You'll cowards don't even question the integrity of NASA :p

Thank you for your contribution to science and progress, whether you had a choice or not.

It would be so massive you probably wouldn't even experience it as falling into anything.

Coffee

Typically, they're enhanced or false color, so not strictly true.

And as if the conspiracy-tards need more ammunition, the appearance of Jupiter in 1968's 2001 is actually a more realistic depiction of how it would look to the naked eye...a yellowish, low-detail sphere.

It wasn't even supposed to have a camera. They glued one to it at the end after some guys told them it would be a waste not to make some pictures for fags on the internet.

>why the fuck have they never produced a high quality photo of the Apollo landing sites on the moon?

Why the fuck would they do that? So few retards nobody takes seriously anyways could call it a scam again? What are you going to say once chinks or Space-X puts man on the moon?

Kek

bandwidth, power limits, and physical memory on the probe.

Taking pictures is not part of Juno's main mission. The camera is there for outreach purposes, that is keeping brainlets like you happy with pretty pictures. The real purpose of Juno is looking underneath the clouds of Jupiter to figure out what the fuck is going on there.

The camera's operation cannot be guaranteed past eight orbits due to the intense radiation.

>>he wants to aerobrake around jupiter
absolute madman. Aerobraking around jupiter isn't practical, you need too much mass for a heatshield.

Is it really necessary to insult the guy because he likes the photos taken by the probe? Yeah god forbid somebody take an interest in what NASA is doing as opposed to being another social media zombie. Get a grip, cunt.

Fuck off retarded moralfag

I also suspect this image if Jupiter (and others published on the NASA) website may be FAKE

Consider. The sun is extremely far away. It would cast negligible light onto Jupiter. The area would be almost pitch black. The prove should not be able to take such a clear and well lit picture!

gotta write fat checks to a lot of people

so the crazy sandstorms are due to all of the moons throwing off jupiters gravity right? is there an official theory for the giant red one? like a river of lava that gets sucked in to a tornado or some rad shit like that?

You can see Jupiter, with the naked eye, from your back yard. It's reflecting more than enough light to take pictures of with nasa's low light lenses, and CCD's.
Though historically these pictures aren't taken in true color, and they touch them up color when they release them to the public.

Cost of getting mass from here to Jupiter. You've got to really over-engineer these things because they have to survive a transit of years in vacuum, which isn't a great environment for machinery and electronics. You don't want to cheap out on making the thing, and have it fail half way to its objective, then you've literally just flushed that money down the toilet.
Not to mention NASA has a huge bureaucracy.
Honestly though when you look at the fraction of the budget NASA gets compared to other ridiculous examples of government waste, you've got to be a real asshole to get your hackles up over it. At least it provides scientific information, and if I get a few new desktop wallpapers out of it then that's just a cherry on top.

Those little eddies on the upper left are still larger than any hurricane on earth

Zeus's cum.

I think that picture is from the polar storm on Saturn from the Cassini mission.
A little bit jealous that someday this is going to be the view some guy wakes up to and takes for granted.

oh hi!
>taking pictures from orbit is just so easy you guys!
if you're such a fucking genius, go build a camera

they're still pictures of jupiter, no matter how much you adjust the levels and hue/saturation

Sometimes they false color frequencies of light humans can't see, because sometimes infrared or ultraviolet, or other frequencies reveal other structures not visible with the human eye. In these cases, the image it not something we would ever see with human eyes. Not only would the color be off, but it would also have extra detail we wouldn't see.

This bothers some people I guess.

The souls that didn't praise God.

>when shit eating retards STILL respond to shitposters and other shit eating retards

just fucking report them you dumbasses, don't give them (You)s

>tfw we will never get pictures from inside of Jupiters atmosphere

some day user, some day. Someday we could put a nuclear powered ramjet in Jupiter's atmosphere
niac.usra.edu/files/library/meetings/annual/jun02/510Maise.pdf

I stand corrected.

>not using category theory

Still not that far off. The eye of that storm is like 20 times the size of the biggest hurricane on earth.
