Juno Flies Past the Moon Ganymede and Jupiter, With Music by Vangelis

On June 7, 2021, NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew closer to Jupiter’s ice-encrusted moon Ganymede than any spacecraft in more than two decades. Less than a day later, Juno made its 34th flyby of Jupiter. This animation provides a “starship captain” point of view of each flyby. For both worlds, JunoCam images were orthographically projected onto a digital sphere and used to create the flyby animation. Synthetic frames were added to provide views of approach and departure for both Ganymede and Jupiter.

Yes but why in the close-in fly by jupiter the camera loses resolution instead to maintain the details of finest atmospheric objects?

[@SamM-gl9zc]

@@zdenekburian1366 - Coming that close increased it's speed from 40,000 mph to 130,000. It traversed the planet pole-to-pole in 90 min, and Jupiter is HUGE. Just a guess but maybe it's harder to take perfect pics from that close at that speed.
