Jupiter Southern Hemisphere - Juno

JunoCam image of Jupiter's southern hemisphere. This view captures the south polar region with numerous folded filamentary regions. It also captures a portion of the "string of pearls", a chain of white ovals located in the south south (repetition intentional) temperate belt.

 

This image was acquired during the Perijove 6 imaging campaign on May 19, 2017. When this image was taken, Juno was at an altitude of 47,000 km as it departed from the vicinity of Jupiter. This image is based on initial processing efforts by Gerald Eichstädt.
