The movie utilizes imagery derived from data collected by the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument aboard NASA&#8217;s Juno mission during its fourth pass over the massive planet.  Infrared cameras are used to sense the temperature of Jupiter\u2019s atmosphere and provide insight into how the powerful cyclones at Jupiter&#8217;s poles work. In the animation, the yellow areas are warmer (or deeper into Jupiter\u2019s atmosphere) and the dark areas are colder (or higher up in Jupiter\u2019s atmosphere).  In this picture the highest \u201cbrightness temperature\u201d is around 260K (about -13\u00b0C) and the lowest around 190K (about -83\u00b0C). The \u201cbrightness temperature\u201d is a measurement of the radiance, at 5 \u00b5m, traveling upward from the top of the atmosphere towards Juno, expressed in units of temperature.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Video Credit: NASA\/JPL-Caltech\/SwRI\/ASI\/INAF\/JIRAM<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 5px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this animation the viewer is taken low over Jupiter\u2019s north pole to illustrate the 3-D aspects of the region\u2019s central cyclone and the eight cyclones that encircle it.
