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.
