Gerald Eichstädt | Juno PJ 45 Europa real-time flyby at a resolution of 40 pixels per degree fov @geraldeichstaedt | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
This is the first of two video versions of Juno's Perijove 45 Europa flyby in close to real-time I've prepared for now.
The video is derived from four JunoCam images. It starts at Europa's night side, where the underlying image is showing mostly noise, camera and processing artefacts and only subtle structure in Jupiter-shine.
I could have cut that portion, but I try to show this also, since you may presumably be curious whether we can see anything on Europa's night side with the JunoCam.
While the scene is changing fairly fast during closest approach, things slow appearently down when we get further away from Europa. In reality, Juno's velocity doesn't change too much during the Europa swing-by.
