Juno Cam Interpretation
Interpretation of Juno Cam data by CSUMB student Maddy Wiley.
NASA-JPL offered my college Visual Design students a really fun opportunity to interpret the data from the Juno Mission sent back by the Juno Cam. This project is open for all to participate. We were so excited to have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Candy Hansen who is a planetary scientist and is responsible for the development and operation of JunoCam. JunoCam is the first interplanetary outreach camera and has been used to produce close-up images of Jupiter, as well as images of Jupiter’s moons.
Students used a variety of software to interpret the data. Fiona Leahy made a video documenting the experience of interpreting the data:
This process resulted in this animation:
The class created a diverse series of still images and videos, embracing the opportunity to play with the data in relation to iconic art images. Works below are by Maddy Willey, Katie Batura, Marco Chavelas, Jiya Day, Leonardo Diaz. Yasmeen Gonzalez, Nicholas Goodnight, Fiona Leahy, Austin Narayan, Ty Ortega, Emma Perault, Paloma Ronquillo, Victoria Simmonds, Bailey Warner and Isabella Wilkinson.
Thank you to Laurance Fauconnet, Public Outreach Specialist, Solar System Engagement and Networks and Dr. Jia-Rui Cook for creating this opportunity for my students. We became connected as Intersections Fellows - a program of the National Academy of Sciences and the Getty Foundation.
