The attached image is an higher contrast image of Jupiter’s gaseous flow. I find the planet interesting as it is really nothing but constant fluid dynamics at play. Constant ebbing and flowing of Jupiter’s atmosphere has led to these intense currents forming which have to led to its distinct spot. In turn, the increase in contrast and vibrance on the processed image makes the movement of the planets currents that much more exaggerated allowing the viewer to properly see how the flow moves.

    First Prize – I believe this is one of the best images because it captures the wonder of our solar system. The fact that this image required the construction of an entire spacecraft makes it more appreciable.
