Twilight on Jupiter looks pretty cool. #Repost @nasa ・・・ What does Jupiter's twilight zone look like? Our Juno spacecraft (@NASAJuno) took this color-enhanced image during its eleventh close flyby of the gas giant planet on Feb. 7, capturing the swirling cloud formations around the south pole of Jupiter, looking up toward the equatorial region. To make features more visible in this region where day meets night, Juno took multiple photos at different exposures. In order to collect enough light to reveal features in Jupiter's dark twilight zone, the much brighter illuminated day-side of Jupiter becomes overexposed with the higher exposure.
