Good afternoon, Rallypoint, and welcome to the August 28th edition of Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD): "Perijove 11: Passing Jupiter." Originally appearing as an APOD in February 2018, this 1:52 video clip blends multiple images from the Juno spacecraft as it passes over the north pole of Jupiter. A "perijove" is an orbit of Jupiter. It takes Juno 53 days to complete one. So if Perijove 11 was in February 2018, we should be on Perijove 42 (or 43) by now. Not that anyone is counting...
I was reminded of the work of Van Gogh as these views of the gas giant passed beneath the lens of Juno's camera. Perhaps he was seeing things that the rest of us had to wait for. Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if some of the engineers and video technicians that helped produce this clip were also behind the "Pale Blue Dot" video shared earlier this month. Excellent work on both accounts.

Thank you my space-exploration advocate friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the August 28, 2022 Astronomy Vidoe of the Day (AVOD): Perijove 11: Passing Jupiter.
Perijove 11: Passing Jupiter.

Explanation: Here comes Jupiter! NASA's robotic spacecraft Juno is continuing on its highly-elongated orbits around our Solar System's largest planet. The featured video is from perijove 11 in early 2018, the eleventh time Juno has passed near Jupiter since it arrived in mid-2016. This time-lapse, color-enhanced movie covers about four hours and morphs between 36 JunoCam images. The video begins with Jupiter rising as Juno approaches from the north. As Juno reaches its closest view -- from about 3,500 kilometers over Jupiter's cloud tops -- the spacecraft captures the great planet in tremendous detail. Juno passes light zones and dark belt of clouds that circle the planet, as well as numerous swirling circular storms, many of which are larger than hurricanes on Earth. After the perijove, Jupiter recedes into the distance, then displaying the unusual clouds that appear over Jupiter's south. To get desired science data, Juno swoops so close to Jupiter that its instruments are exposed to very high levels of radiation."

I put this together from a variety of sources of variable quality, some of which was originally silent, and synched it with the version of the song performed...

Beethoven is not a favorite, but the featured "funeral dirge" of his is one of my favorites. Apparently, it was hugely popular at the time he wrote it . . . and remains so . . . at least that particular passage of it. (The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C♯ minor "Quasi una fantasia", op. 27, No. 2 has three movements:) "Almost a fantasy"
The first movement is so very dramatic in its simplicity (the chords are all practiced again and again when learning to play the piano)
*0:00 1 mvt: Adagio sostenuto
6:00 2 mvt: Allegretto
8:05 3 mvt: Presto agitato

Maj William W. "Bill" Price: Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought Jupiter looked like that! NEVER!!! That is absolutely mind blowing. Thank you so much Bill for sharing that with us.
