High-Level Project Summary
As said by the challenge description itself, we were to process Juno-cams raw images for something scientific, artistic or just fun in general. We came up with a mix of art and fun.Initially, we thought about how can we really re-purpose images of the largest planet along with its moons. That meant we had to get creative with the way we used the raw images.We created a collage. Yes, a bunch of pictures, graphics, texts and fonts all coming together to create an aesthetically pleasing view in general.But collages are just simple pictures you might ask since that is a really valid question.Collages take time and effort and date back to the 1910s. And that's basically it!

Detailed Project Description
Our projects goal is to repurpose Juno cams raw images for any fun artistic ideas…
Our team came up with the Project : Jovian Aesthetic.
We turn images sourced from juno cam, into collages; works of art. We use free source stickers, images, fonts and aesthetically pleasing graphics to catch the viewer’s eye.
We carefully curate and design different pieces based on a specific themes and find colours, textures and feels that give the viewers a sense of familiarity.
We created a collage. Yes, a bunch of pictures, graphics, texts and fonts all coming together to create an aesthetically pleasing view in general.
In short we’re here to create a different meaning to science…
Space Agency Data
What and where are these large ovals? They are rotating storm clouds on Jupiter imaged last month by NASA's Juno spacecraft. In general, higher clouds are lighter in colour, and the lightest clouds visible are the relatively small clouds that dot the lower oval.
- We used this piece of information to describe the particulars of the images we repurposed because after all, this is the most we can make of the images themselves.
Observations from the spacecraft’s pass of the moon provided the first close-up in over two decades of this ocean world, resulting in remarkable imagery and unique science. The first picture NASA’s Juno spacecraft took as it flew by Jupiter’s ice-encrusted moon Europa has arrived on Earth. Revealing surface features in a region near the moon’s equator called Annwn Regio, the image was captured during the solar-powered spacecraft’s closest approach, on Thursday, Sept. 29, at 2:36 a.m. PDT (5:36 a.m. EDT), at a distance of about 219 miles (352 kilometres).
- We used this specific piece of information to describe the tactile qualities of Jupiter's moon Europa in a way that would comprehend as an art piece.
Hackathon Journey
Our Space Apps journey was incredible and very life-changing. It helped put science into a different perspective and in-short end the stereo-typical textbook science term.
Our approach to this project was definitely trying to break the boundaries of science and bring it into a different light while linking to very different subjects to create more than just a hybrid.
The people I got to work with, the Local leads, participants and almost everyone, in general, were warm, kind and very knowledgeable. They were very helpful when it came to guidance and answered every doubt one could ask.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank them for their guidance and for all the help they provided us with. If there were ever an opportunity similar we'd definitely participate again...
