FYI for anyone who processes JunoCam raw data and is coming up with huge image start time adjustments - a second version of the CK SPICE Kernel was released two days after V01, which correct the issue. naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/JUNO/…


1700 JunoCam images of Jupiter system (processed to increase visibility of Galilean satellites) from perijove 49 close pass of Jupiter through apijove and into the descent towards pj 50. 4K


I wonder if Journal Publishing Services have the rights to fine-tune LLMs on their archive of peer review interactions to create preliminary review bots. Also, wonder if future publishing service feature will be hosting chat bot tuned to answer questions about each article.


Io and Jupiter from JunoCam on Juno spacecraft's perijove 53 flyby of Jupiter. Imaged 42 hours ago at a distance of 74526 km from Io.

TIL my car's "Parking Brake" dashboard light has the overloaded function of "low brake fluid" light. (And staying on doesn't just mean a flakey brake lever switch.) Luckily wife has more sense than me.


While we are waiting for new images from Juno's upcoming Sunday PJ53 Jupiter pass, here is a quick review of PJ52 youtu.be/oF3uM2oSzCk
