2024 April 21 - Perijove 16: Passing Jupiter
Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 21/04/2024

In today's image, we see a time-lapse video clip from the Juno spacecraft as it made its 16 close approach to the planet Jupiter. Juno has a highly elliptical orbit which allows it to come in briefly to study the planet's cloud structures, but spend most of its time well away from the intense radiation near the planet.
