Video Shows Incredible 3D Animation of Jupiter's "Frosted Cupcake" Clouds - NDTV

Researchers used JunoCam data to build digital elevation maps of cloud tops.

A group of scientists recently used NASA's Juno spacecraft to produce stunning 3D renders to simulate how Jupiter's raging storms would appear from space.

"This computer animation shows a flight over such a landscape for processed, red-filtered image data collected by JunoCam, the wide-angle visible light imager of NASA's Juno spacecraft, during her 43rd close Jupiter flyby," the caption of the post read. .

The researchers used JunoCam data to build digital elevation maps of cloud tops. .

Mr Eichstadt also explained that this latest method has now opened up new opportunities to derive 3D elevation models of Jupiter's cloud tops.
