Astronomers have shared the first 3D renders from data captured by JunoCam, revealing clouds that look like cupcake frosting.
The first 3D renders from NASA’s JunoCam spacecraft have revealed a spectacular phenomenon on Jupiter. The small spacecraft captured data of clouds on the gas giant which, when animated and turned into a 3D image, look like frosting off a cupcake. This week, the renders were revealed at Europlanet Science Congress 2022 in Granada.
These first JunoCam 3D renders are a new way to look at the data that Juno has captured. The renders were made using data captured by JunoCam, the visible-light camera onboard NASA’s Juna spacecraft. Juno has been orbiting Jupiter since 2016.
