Summary
edit| Description |
English: This is a 3d rendering of Jupiter using OPAL data mapped to a Jupiter-shaped spheroid. I was careful to map the cloud bands accurately to the correct latitude. I also tried to replicate some of the effects of peering at Jupiter through the Hubble telescope by using a few shader hacks in Blender. The result appears fairly realistic.
We are looking at Jupiter at an inclination of -3°, so if you feel that you can see a little more of the southern pole than the northern, that is why. I don't know the exact inclination with respect to HST at the time, but when I matched it to single exposure observations, somewhere around 2-4° seemed about right. The phase angle was 1° at the time so solar illumination is almost straight on. This animation represents Jupiter as it appeared around 2017 April. A link to the OPAL maps is here: archive.stsci.edu/prepds/opal/ Red: WFC3/UVIS F631N Green: WFC3/UVIS F502N Blue: WFC3/UVIS 395N North is not up, but Jupiter's north pole is. |
