On Tuesday, NASA released the first set of images from Juno's in-orbit view and as expected, they are spectacular.
Jupiter itself may only appear to be 75 pixels across from JunoCam when Juno reaches the furthest point of its orbit around the planet. [3] At its closest approaches, JunoCam could achieve 15 km/pixel resolution from 4300 km, while Hubble has taken images of up to 119 km/pixel from 600 million km. [13]
