It's on the "official website" but it's a "user processed image". Looks like it was a color enhanced version of this original: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/Vault/VaultOutput?VaultID=53518&ts=1723603688

Which is dumb because the original is already super cool.

Hate to break it to you but from what I can tell this was captured with JunoCam, a visible-light camera. So an "unaltered" version would have familiar colors, and this is already edited.

I mean, aren't most images from orbiters and space telescopes heavily processed before the public ever sees them?

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago

Of course, what they call "camera" might be a high-res spectrometer, plus there may be stacking, tiling, digital optics correction etc. However, the camera did capture a visible-light picture so it has a "natural" interpretation (you can convert it into a "human POV") and this is not that. It probably does not even convey extra information (such as exact wavelengths our cones cannot distinguish) so it's akin to just using a solarization filter on a normal color CMOS camera photo.

Oh didn't know that Thanks.

Oh wow I didn’t realize Jupiter is actually pretty and not just a tan streaky ball

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 7 points 5 days ago

Jupiter definitely had a post-high school glow up.

Looks like a gemstone I'd try to eat.
