developed for astrophotography and service imaging planets in 2003 now
service imaging planets in 2003 now
service imaging planets in 2003 now imaging planets is basically fighting
imaging planets is basically fighting
imaging planets is basically fighting the atmosphere you know one problem we
the atmosphere you know one problem we
the atmosphere you know one problem we have when we image outer space is that
have when we image outer space is that
have when we image outer space is that does this thing for the atmosphere that
does this thing for the atmosphere that
does this thing for the atmosphere that interferes what we’re doing it basically
interferes what we’re doing it basically
interferes what we’re doing it basically distorts the image now there are three
distorts the image now there are three
distorts the image now there are three ways to fight it well of course the
ways to fight it well of course the
ways to fight it well of course the first way is to remove the atmosphere
first way is to remove the atmosphere
first way is to remove the atmosphere which is out of the question please
which is out of the question please
which is out of the question please we’ll all die but the other way is
we’ll all die but the other way is
we’ll all die but the other way is getting out of the atmosphere sending
getting out of the atmosphere sending
getting out of the atmosphere sending sending probes like the Hubble Space

think 2011 there was a huge forum that
think 2011 there was a huge forum that appeared in Saturn and we teamed up with
appeared in Saturn and we teamed up with
appeared in Saturn and we teamed up with the Cassini Cassini spacecraft let’s
the Cassini Cassini spacecraft let’s
the Cassini Cassini spacecraft let’s start Leo orbit on Saturn and we did the
start Leo orbit on Saturn and we did the
start Leo orbit on Saturn and we did the support for Cassini and these are my

since Saturn it’s a satellite there and one thing which really got us excited
one thing which really got us excited
one thing which really got us excited was that we were able to publish a paper
was that we were able to publish a paper
was that we were able to publish a paper in a very prestigious journal Nature and
in a very prestigious journal Nature and
in a very prestigious journal Nature and this is probably exactly my second paper
this is probably exactly my second paper
this is probably exactly my second paper in Nature where I co-authored this paper

and this we found out that this forum is
and this we found out that this forum is actually a huge thunderstorm and one
actually a huge thunderstorm and one
actually a huge thunderstorm and one thing about this thunderstorm is that it
thing about this thunderstorm is that it
thing about this thunderstorm is that it became the largest storm in the solar

more about this because I was so
more about this because I was so impressed with that ice
impressed with that ice
impressed with that ice I wonder if you have built in Thailand

involved with this right now this spacecraft arrived at Jupiter last year
spacecraft arrived at Jupiter last year
spacecraft arrived at Jupiter last year on July 4 and we were able to do some
on July 4 and we were able to do some
on July 4 and we were able to do some work for the spacecraft during that time
work for the spacecraft during that time
work for the spacecraft during that time July 4 I was in Mount Wilson Observatory
July 4 I was in Mount Wilson Observatory
July 4 I was in Mount Wilson Observatory in Los Angeles this is exploring
in Los Angeles this is exploring
in Los Angeles this is exploring observatory in fact this is where

last year last May to basically brief us
last year last May to basically brief us on what tuna will be doing and basically
on what tuna will be doing and basically
on what tuna will be doing and basically you know Juno were involved in this
you know Juno were involved in this
you know Juno were involved in this thing the spacecraft and one thing about
thing the spacecraft and one thing about
thing the spacecraft and one thing about the spacecraft either super-weird off
the spacecraft either super-weird off
the spacecraft either super-weird off it’s a it’s a different orbit from
it’s a it’s a different orbit from
it’s a it’s a different orbit from previous spacecraft it goes close to
previous spacecraft it goes close to
previous spacecraft it goes close to Jupiter and this orbit is once every 64
Jupiter and this orbit is once every 64
Jupiter and this orbit is once every 64 days they were supposed to be 14 days
days they were supposed to be 14 days
days they were supposed to be 14 days but we were not Eve and they were not
but we were not Eve and they were not
but we were not Eve and they were not able to reduce the orbit through 14 days
able to reduce the orbit through 14 days
able to reduce the orbit through 14 days because of a problem with the valve but
because of a problem with the valve but
because of a problem with the valve but the dania rate this spacecraft has been
the dania rate this spacecraft has been
the dania rate this spacecraft has been astounded us these are the images of
astounded us these are the images of
astounded us these are the images of juno cabinets you know we’ve never seen
juno cabinets you know we’ve never seen
juno cabinets you know we’ve never seen images like this before this is the
images like this before this is the
images like this before this is the highest resolution image of Jupiter ever
highest resolution image of Jupiter ever
highest resolution image of Jupiter ever but one thing interesting about this
but one thing interesting about this
but one thing interesting about this spacecraft is that it allows us to
spacecraft is that it allows us to
spacecraft is that it allows us to basically allows the public to get
basically allows the public to get
basically allows the public to get involved with the spacecraft
