Title:NASA: New Juno Image Shows Jupiter in Breathtaking Glory

While you were dodging bad internet pranks on April 1, the Juno spacecraft was flying away from Jupiter, wrapping up the 12th of its close skims over the giant planet. And as it did, it snapped a few unremarkable images.

4月1日，当你躲开恶劣的互联网恶作剧，朱诺航天器正从木星飞出巨行星第十二层紧闭，正如它做的那样，它抢走了几张未经识别的图像。

Between then and now, Juno aficionados selected five of those photos, stitched them together, and worked the Photoshop magic necessary to turn the spacecraft's raw images into something truly worth looking at. This is the result: a stunning view of Jupiter's magnificent banded clouds and the tumultuous Great Red Spot from an angle we've never seen before.

从那时到现在，Junoaficionades选择其中五张照片，缝合在一起，并利用必要的Photoshop魔法，将航天器原始图像转化为真正值得看的东西。其结果是：我们从以前从未见过的角度，对木星的壮丽带状云和喧闹的大红斑的令人惊叹的景色。

The original photos were taken over the course of half an hour and more than 30,000 miles of travel. And because of Juno's unique orbit, we've never really seen the planet upside down like this, with the southern hemisphere at the top of the image.

最初的照片是在半个小时和3万多英里的旅行过程中拍摄的，由于朱诺的独特轨道，我们从未真正看到过像现在这样颠倒的星球，南半球处于图像的顶端。

The Juno mission uses a special polar orbit in which the spacecraft approaches the planet around the north pole, skims over its surface while flying south, shoots out past the south pole and swings deep into space to avoid the dangerous belts of radiation that ring Jupiter. Then, almost two months later, the spacecraft repeats the basic maneuver, soaring over a different swath of planet from north to south.

“朱诺”飞行任务使用一个特殊的极地轨道，其中航天器接近北极周围的地球，在南部飞行时掠过其水面，从南北极中射出来；然后旋转到太空，避开环绕木星的危险的辐射带，然后近两个月后，航天器又重复了基本的机动，飞翔于从北到南方的不同区域地球。

That path means that when the spacecraft's camera snapped these images, Jupiter's southern hemisphere, marked by the distinctive Great Red Spot, appears at the top of the frame, and its northern hemisphere is at the bottom.

这条道路意味着，当航天器的照相机拍断了这些图象时，以著名的大红斑为标志的木星的南半球出现在帧的顶端，北半球处于底部。

These images were taken on the spacecraft's 12th flyby. Right now, the spacecraft is scheduled to make one more complete flyby, but in order to keep operating beyond this July, the mission needs to be formally extended by NASA.

这些图像是航天器第12天飞速拍摄的，现在，航天器计划进行一次更完整的飞翔，但为了在今年7月以后继续运行，飞行任务需要由美国航天局正式延长。

The spacecraft isn't just producing the raw material for stunning images, of course—it's also already opened our eyes to incredible discoveries about Jupiter, like the giant storms circling its south pole.

当然，这艘宇宙飞船不仅生产出让人叹为观止的图像的原料，而且还打开了我们的眼睛来发现木星，就像在南极盘旋的大风暴。
