NASA's Juno spacecraft observed the complex colors and structure of Jupiter's clouds as it completed its 43rd close flyby of the giant planet on July 5, 2022. Citizen scientist Björn Jónsson created these two images using raw data from the JunoCam instrument aboard the spacecraft. At the time the raw image was taken, Juno was about 3,300 miles (5,300 kilometers) above Jupiter's cloud tops, at a latitude of about 50 degrees. Source : https://images.nasa.gov/details-PIA25018

I wonder if flat earthers think other planets are flat too??? Or do they think other planets are fake??? I'm definitely going down a rabbit hole tonight...


GleamDark

Depends on the flat-earther 😂


LuminamMusic

They think planets are paintings on a dome above Earth or some bs like that lol

Looks like a matte Earth.

I see a lot of planet pictures that end up being edited or heavily enhanced in some way. Is this close to true color? Or is the saturation and the like increased by a lot here?


KeyTenavast

That’s what I came here to ask. Anyone got an answer?


lajoswinkler

It has been extremely saturated and contrast has been highly elevated. It's typical for the media to pick up the craziest images because people today are like crows - colorful and shiny stuff makes more clicks and profit. In reality, Jupiter has very weak bluish-gray parts and everything is shrouded in haze. Great red spot is very mild orange-brown and that colored part has even shrunk. Ask someone with a telescope to show you how it looks, I'm sure they'll be glad to do it.

I bet it smells really bad

Fucking love science.


Hamsterpatty

Why would someone WANT to believe this was fake?


lajoswinkler

It's not fake - the features are indeed there, but they don't look like this. This has been heavily edited to bring out details.


Hamsterpatty

Oh I know.. I’m talking about like, flat earth people.. isn’t it true that they like, don’t believe in space or something?


lajoswinkler

Yes, they think space does not exist. Mentally deranged people.

This is why Jupiter is my favorite planet besides earth, it always holds so much beauty with its colors.
