grrg, when will hubble look at neptune, and jupiter, there is still only uranus 2021 maps on OPAL

I don't know, especially because I am also waiting for 2021 Jupiter data to come in.

I don't know, especially because I am also waiting for 2021 Jupiter data to come in.

someone should make a mosaic from the 2021 juno data, but no one even bothered too

[Sirius_Alpha]

Juno data would not be appropriate to use (on its own) for a global mosaic since the spacecraft really only observes narrow slices of longitude at high-resolution, making a pass once ever several weeks at which time the underlying surface changes considerably.

I recall a Juno map does exist, I can't seem to find it again though.

Regardless it is drawn over with text and labels and it's very low resolution.

working on a spice add on for lucy

but there is a glitch in the current predictive spice kernel so i am going to have to wait for a new kernel to be released

I found this old screenshot of my Planet 9 addon from late March of 2018, using a texture from xftgamer on Deviantart (now deactivated), and I thought I would re-create it to show how far I've come:

As far as I know, this is the world's first global 64k Jupiter texture (partly AI generated, "Cupscaled"):

what "height map" are you using for jupiter, looks nice

i have 2 suggestions
1. make the thing in aprox natural color if possible (ask askaniy for help if needed)

2. add a atmosphere to the thing (prefer the one from project echoes (code below)

Code: Select all

Atmosphere
   {                     # upper clouds at 0.6 bar
      Height      1000
      Mie      0.0001
      MieScaleHeight   28
      MieAsymmetry   -0.15
      Rayleigh   [ 0.00095 0.00145 0.00298 ]   # from optical thickness 0.17 at 500 nm
      Absorption   [ 0.00033 0.00010 0.00001 ]   # total absorption 0.0301 0.0094 0.00002
   }

Added after 1 minute 9 seconds:
it will make it look nice (you can have the color enhanced one (the current texture unmodified) as a alt surface if you want too)

Thanks. It is just a smaller normal map version of the base texture, but I had to tweak the parameters.

this is what i manage to come up with for jupiter's "topography"
