Jupiter Texture - Voyager 1

Description

I always wanted a Jupiter texture by the Voyager spacecraft. For Voyager 2, Björn Jonsson made a good one: bjj.mmedia.is/data/jupiter/ind… but nothing good avaliable for Voyager 1. I found this texture on the NASA photojournal: photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/cata… It shows more than a full rotation but not all lattitudes. There was a bit of processing necessary to create this map, I filled the gaps with the Cassini map. In contrast to the Cassini images which were taken only in red and blue filters, this texture might be composed of 3 different color filters, maybe being closer to natural colors. Now I can simulate the Voyager 1 flyby of Jupiter with original images :) Jupiter changes its look so rapidly, the orange cloud band at the equator is now a white zone, which gives the planet a totally different appearance...

Update: I slightly changed the color balance (again...) the texture is now slightly darker and redder

I used this texture for my fictional Voyager 1 Jupiter Texture here:
