Jovian Data Analyzers

High-Level Project Summary

Hello, and welcome to "Jovian Data Analyzers" team!We are a group of science enthusiasts and active members of respected STEM fields who are collaborating together to create a process for developing an imagery database that will help researcher's of Jupiter learn new information of the planet's function in the solar system. This project details how the RGB imagery processing of Jupiter's "JunoCam" satellite camera can be used to determine the chemical constituency the lunar surface, its similarities to Earth, and how this data can be interpreted for scientific and artistic purposes using Open-Source research within NASA and other respected aerospace organizations.

Detailed Project Description

Hello, and welcome to "Jovian Data Analyzers" team!



We are a group of science enthusiasts, citizens scientists, and active members of respected STEM fields who are collaborating together to create a process for developing an RGB processed imagery database using raw images of Jupiter from NASA's JunoCam satellite camera that will assist researcher's of Jupiter learn new information of the planet's function in the solar system. 



This project details how the RGB imagery processing of Jupiter's "JunoCam" satellite camera can be used to determine the chemical constituency the lunar surface, its similarities to Earth, and how this data can be interpreted for scientific and artistic purposes using Open-Source research within NASA and other respected aerospace organizations.


Our Goals:




  • To develop color images using the three JunoCam-generated grayscale images representing the RGB colors.




  • Experiment with image processing to generate images that can be used for scientific, artistic, or other fun activities.




  • Contribute to Open Science by engaging citizen scientists with the research and data analyzation process that goes into creating incredible scientific discoveries about our solar system.




  • Bring more awareness to STEM research and encourage others to pursue science as a career or hobby.




  • Expand on the knowledge that scientists have about our universe by using technology to process satellite images of Jupiter, revealing unknown details about the planet's surface.

Similarities Between Earth and Jupiter:


Similarities:

 



  • Jupiter is a gas giant without a clearly visible solid surface, whereas Earth is a planet with a solid surface. While the Earth's atmosphere is primarily made up of oxygen, nitrogen, and other molecules, Jupiter's atmosphere is primarily made up of hydrogen and helium. Their sizes and temperatures are not comparable. The planet though still share numerous similarities, despite this. 




  • Much like Earth, temperatures and pressures inside Jupiter increase dramatically toward the core. At the “surface”, the pressure and temperature are believed to be 10 bars and 340 K (67 °C, 152 °F). 




  • In the region where hydrogen becomes metallic, it is believed that temperatures reach 10,000 K (9,700 °C; 17,500 °F) and pressures 200 GPa. The temperature at the core boundary is estimated to be 36,000 K (35,700 °C; 64,300 °F) and the interior pressure at roughly 3,000–4,500 GPa.  

 

 

Magnetic Field :




  • Radio waves inside Jupiter accelerate electrons similarly to how they do on Earth, resulting in magnetic tremors. 

The magnetic field of Jupiter is four times more powerful than the one of Earth and extends 100 times farther than Jupiter's radius. 




  • Same evolutionary pattern of growth, expansion, and recovery.  

Occasional occurrence of sub-storms resulting in flux dropouts reducing the magnetic field's strength. 



Auroras:  




  • Internal energy is the main cause of aurora.




  • X-ray aurora also observed.




  • Io(Jupiter’s closest moon) – a dragging force is produced in magnetic field-thus auroras always present. 



Ocean Current and Cloud Bands: 




  • Root cause turbulence. 




  • Alternating air flow. 



Quasi Biennial Oscillation (Change in Stratospheric wind direction):




  • Cause on earth- sunlight differences.




  • Cause on Jupiter-storms (lower to higher layer)/internal energy. 




  • High rotation speed cause of QBO near equator.  



Ring Currents:




  • Earth -clockwise direction, decreases the magnetic field. 




  • Jupiter – Hold Ionic plasma i.e. being drifted by Io. 



X-rays:




  • X-ray Emissions.




  • Auroral and low latitude-disk X-ray emission.
