NASA’s Juno spacecraft observed the complex colors and structure of Jupiter’s clouds on July 5, 2022, as it completed its 43rd close flyby of the giant planet. Citizen scientist Björn Jónsson from Iceland created these two images using raw data from the JunoCam instrument aboard the spacecraft. J
The image was processed to portray the approximate colors that the human eye would see from Juno’s vantage point.

The second image comes from the same raw data, but in this case, Jónsson digitally processed it to increase both the color saturation and contrast to sharpen small-scale features and to reduce compression artifacts and noise that typically appear in raw images.
