Explanation: Brush strokes of Jupiter's [8] signature atmospheric bands and
vortices form this planetary [9] post-impressionist [10]  work of art. The
creative image [11] uses actual data from the Juno spacecraft's JunoCam. To
paint on the digital canvas, an image with light and dark tones was chosen for
processing and an oil-painting software filter applied. The image data was
captured during perijove 10, Juno's December 16, 2017 close encounter with the
solar system's ruling gas giant. At the time the spacecraft was cruising about
13,000 kilometers above northern Jovian cloud tops [12] .
