Astronomy Picture of the Day - Painting with Jupiter
NASA ^ | 19 Apr, 2025 | Image Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, SwRI, MSSS; Processing: Rick Lundh

Explanation: In digital brush strokes, Jupiter's signature atmospheric bands and vortices were used to form this interplanetary post-impressionist work of art. The creative image from citizen scientist Rick Lundh uses data from the Juno spacecraft's JunoCam. To paint on the digital canvas, a JunoCam image with contrasting light and dark tones was chosen for processing and an oil-painting software filter applied. The image data was captured during perijove 10. That was Juno's December 16, 2017 close encounter with the solar system's ruling gas giant. At the time the spacecraft was cruising about 13,000 kilometers above northern Jovian cloud tops. Now in an extended mission, Juno has explored Jupiter and its moons since entering orbit around Jupiter in July of 2016.

It looks like a cheeseburger that was eaten by a Belgian Groenendael dog and then thrown up on an expensive carpet. Ask me how I know.

OK

How do you know?

I’ve never heard of that kind of dog before.

I will have to look it up.

“A Belgian will always give 100%.”

A noble and handsome dog.
