Got a link for hi rez first imagine, make for an awesome monitor background.

Both come from The Very Pulse of the Machine, a beautiful episode of Netflix's Love, Death and Robots. All episodes are effectively unrelated so you can watch in any order. The upper one is from the first minute. Nobody seems to have uploaded it above FullHD but you can just pirate the episode in 4K and snapshot any frame you want.

Are all those circular spots essentially Jupiter hurricanes?

Probably it could ignite by itself if that was needed for it.

That's amazing

It’s always so funny to me that the amount of saturation in these images is directly proportional to how long they’ve been doing the rounds on social media.

Looks like a gemstone I'd try to eat.

You know what rocks are delicious? Silica gel.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

Jupiter definitely had a post-high school glow up.
