An illustration I did of Juno, Jupiter and Ganymede, part of a series of drawings inspired by NASA spacecraft missions. I hope its okay to share here!

Screenshot of DSN Now at 03:50 UTC, as it receives Juno's signal from when it passed over Jupiter's south pole. The spacecraft has successfully completed a historic pass over Jupiter, with a wealth of data on the Great Red Spot stored in its computer.

The Juno spacecraft has successfully made its first science pass over Jupiter, at a distance of ~4,200km. Here's a screenshot of DSN Now at 14:35 UTC, (13:43 UTC spacecraft time), showing Madrid receiving Juno’s signal after its closest approach. Downlink details for antennas 54 and 55 are included.

Madrid is currently downlinking from the Juno spacecraft at a rate of 40 kilobits per second. This is 10-40 times faster than New Horizons' average downlink speed, and 250 times faster than Voyager 1 and 2's. How does this compare to your internet speed?

I haven't been able to find the details of the camera rig on Juno (at least one I can understand) - can anyone compare it to the camera that's on New Horizons? The difference in detail is night and day.

My god, it's full of... swirls? JunoCam's best views of the north (left) and south pole (right) of Jupiter, both littered by turbulent storms aplenty. Arguably the best results from JunoCam during this pass, but without a doubt our best view of Jupiter's poles since Pioneer 11 in 1974.

My personal favorite piece from today's massive data release - this eerie and somewhat unsettling view towards the limb of Jupiter taken by JunoCam, from an insane altitude of only 4,478km, three minutes after closest approach.

What makes some of the storms appear luminescent in some of the images? Could it be in the process or the clouds themselves?
