While NASA’s Juno orbiter is giving Jupiter its close-up, a new video based on more than 1,000 images taken by 91 amateur astronomers provides the wide-angle view.
“A Journey to Jupiter” shows how bands of clouds, great red spots and pearl-colored storms whirl in different directions around the giant planet.
The images were captured between December 2014 and March 2015, then collated and remapped into cylindrical projections, then color-corrected and seamlessly stitched together, and then spiffed up with additional space imagery and a soothing soundtrack.
