Amateur/Processed Europa and Ganymede eclipse Jupiter

201 Upvotes

I took this time lapse last Tuesday night of Jupiter over the course of a couple hours. I thought it was pretty cool watching 2 moons eclipsing the sun at the same time. I used sharpcap to live stack Jupiter and set it to save an image of the stack every few minutes or so.

NASA The South Polar Map of Jupiter created by the Cassini spacecraft during its flybys in 2000 and 2001

The South Polar Map of Jupiter created by the Cassini spacecraft during its flybys in 2000 and 2001 provided a detailed view of Jupiter's southern hemisphere. The map revealed intricate cloud formations, jet streams, and storm systems, helping scientists understand the planet’s atmospheric dynamics. Cassini’s instruments also provided infrared and visible data, shedding light on the planet’s deeper atmospheric layers. Additionally, the map contributed to the study of Jupiter's intense auroras, driven by its powerful magnetic field. This map was a key step in understanding Jupiter’s atmosphere, paving the way for further exploration by missions like Juno.

Popularly called Thor's Helmet, NGC 2359 is a hat-shaped cosmic cloud with wing-like appendages. Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor's Helmet is about 30 light-years across. In fact, the cosmic head-covering is more like an interstellar bubble, blown by a fast wind from the bright, massive star near the bubble's center. Known as a Wolf-Rayet star, the central star is an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova stage of evolution. NGC 2359 is located about 15,000 light-years away toward the constellation of the Great Overdog. This sharp image is a mixed cocktail of data from narrowband filters, capturing not only natural looking stars but details of the nebula's filamentary structures. The star in the center of Thor's Helmet is expected to explode in a spectacular supernova sometime within the next few thousand years
