NASA’s Juno spacecraft is giving us the first detailed images of Jupiter’s complex cloud structure, beautiful images of the circles and swirls from intense storms that extend hundreds of miles deep. Explore Jupiter and its Moons In July 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft arrived at Jupiter. The original mission plan did not include a camera, but at the public’s request, NASA added one at the last minute. JunoCam is now providing some of the most interesting pictures we have ever seen of Jupiter and NASA is depending on amateurs to process the im- ages, which are scientifically valuable and artistic. Many of them may remind you of artwork by Vincent Van Gogh. On Tuesday, Jan. 7 and Friday, Jan. 10, Mt. hood Community College Planetarium Director Pat Hanrahan will present “Latest Pictures Explore Jupiter and its Moons” at the MHCC Planetarium. Showtimes are at 6 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Besides exploring Jupiter, Hanrahan will also cover the planet’s main moons, including a firey volcanic moon called Io and an icy moon called Europa. Europa is particularly interesting as it may host a liquid ocean under all that ice. Energy for melting the ice comes from Jupiter’s tidal forces and scientists feel that primitive life my even exist there. Admission is only $5 for adults. MHCC students and children 17 and under are $2.
