Jupiter from Voyager 1

[pluto (Hugh)]

One of the excellent image processors over at the UMSF forum, Björn Jónsson, has reprocessed some of the old Voyager 1 data from its Jupiter flyby and the results are great!

They're excellent images, just stunning! Thanks for the link Hugh.

Wow! Very well done. Lovely stuff, even though its a while ago now.

Is it a fair comparison? The data is there in the original, obviously. Unless I'm missing something, he's simply making it more pleasing to the eye, much like the difference between viewing RAW, then processing it to get the desired visual effect. Of course, the images do look better after processing, but I wonder if the intention with the originals was to retain the maximum amount of information, rather than to look nice?

A recent exchange:

"Hi from Australia, Björn!

Re: A deep dive into the highest-resolution Voyager Jupiter data [1]

"..A jet stream is visible in central NTrZ, and examples of the NEB
plumes are also visible. Gravity waves can be seen below and to the
right of center.."

Gravity waves?!

I thought LIGO had only recently demonstrated detection of gravity
waves: are you suggesting we can see them in action on Jupiter?!

Maybe I've misunderstood something....

Yikes!
Thank you for clarifying my fundamental error!

Hi Dean,

What LIGO detected was gravitational waves. Gravity waves are something completely different but they are sometimes confused with gravitational waves. There is an explanation of both terms on e.g. Wikipedia.

I think the meteorological gravity waves differs from the physicists gravity waves. You can see them here on earth.
