Photo of Jupiter's South Pole taken by the JunoCam on May 25, 2017. For the first time the South Pole of Jupiter was photographed in detail by the Juno spacecraft, which arrived to Jupiter in July 2016 and for the first time in history entered the polar orbit of Jupiter.
The most detailed map of Jupiter in existence, according to Nasa. This picture well illustrates the rings of Jupiter, as well as the south pole (which I didn't know existed). It says on the Nasa page that it is the most detailed map of Jupiter ever made. It was constructed with images taken by Cassini, and appears in the article Jupiter. The ...
The round map is a polar stereographic projection that shows the south pole in the center of the map and the equator at the edge. It was constructed from images taken by Cassini on Dec. 11 and 12, 2000, as the spacecraft neared Jupiter during a flyby on its way to Saturn.
A polar stereographic projection of Jupiter's atmosphere centered about Jupiter's south pole. The visible surface of Jupiter is divided into several bands parallel to the equator. There are two types of bands: lightly colored zones and relatively dark belts. [5] The wider Equatorial Zone (EZ) extends between latitudes of approximately 7°S to 7 ...
At the antipode of this point is the far pole, where Jupiter lies at the nadir; it is also called the anti-Jovian point. There will also be a single unmoving point which is farthest along Io's orbit (best defined as the point most removed from the plane formed by the north-south and near-far axes, on the leading side) – this is the leading pole.
The South Pole is at an altitude of 9,200 feet (2,800 m) but feels like 11,000 feet (3,400 m). [34] Centripetal force from the spin of the planet throws the atmosphere toward the equator. The South Pole is colder than the North Pole primarily because of the elevation difference and for being in the middle of a continent. [35]
What we didn't know was just how hot things were getting down at the South Pole. According to research published this week in the journalNature Climate Change, the region has been warming at more ...
Visualization of the ice and snow covering Earth's northern and southern polar regions Northern Hemisphere permafrost (permanently frozen ground) in purple. The polar regions, also called the frigid zones or polar zones, of Earth are Earth's polar ice caps, the regions of the planet that surround its geographical poles (the North and South Poles), lying within the polar circles.
