COSMIC MESSAGE

This video captures Juno's sixteenth close pass, or perijove, by Jupiter since 2016. NASA's Juno spacecraft continues its elongated, month-long orbits around the gas giant. Each perijove provides views of a slightly different part of Jupiter's cloud tops. This color-enhanced, time-lapse video, composed from 21 JunoCam images, offers a dynamic perspective of the planet.
