Jupiter's Ring

Dec 19, 2018
This image shows Jupiter's ring -- half in Jupiter's shadow -- as captured by NASA's Juno spacecraft during its 13th science orbit on July 16, 2018.

Juno's Radiation Monitoring Investigation used the Stellar Reference Unit (SRU) star camera to collect this image of Jupiter's ring -- half in Jupiter's shadow -- during Juno's 13th science orbit on July 16, 2018. The image was collected from a unique high latitude vantage point (55 degrees north latitude) just as Juno flew inside the ring. The bright inner band is Jupiter's main ring, the halo ring is to its left, and the gossamer rings are to its right.

JunoCam's raw images are available at www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam for the public to peruse and process into image products.

More information about Juno is online at http://www.nasa.gov/juno and http://missionjuno.swri.edu.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the Juno mission for the principal investigator, Scott Bolton, of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. Juno is part of NASA's New Frontiers Program, which is managed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the spacecraft. Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages JPL for NASA.
