NASA\u2019s Juno orbiter has sent back its 11th crop of close-ups from Jupiter, and that means it\u2019s time for another eye-opening, jaw-dropping photo album created by citizen scientists.<\/p>\n

Juno flew as close as 2,100 miles above the planet\u2019s cloud tops on Feb. 7 for what\u2019s known as Perijove 11, at the completion of its 10th science orbit.<\/p>\n

NASA says this close encounter was a gravity science orientation pass, which means Juno could point its transmitters directly at Earth to downlink data in real time to the Deep Space Network\u2019s radio antenna installation in Goldstone, Calif.<\/p>\n

Juno\u2019s primary mission is to study Jupiter\u2019s gravitational and magnetic fields, and get a better sense of the planet\u2019s internal composition. But the spacecraft also has an imaging device known as JunoCam that\u2019s taking pictures primarily for public consumption and science outreach.<\/p>\n

Some photo processing mavens have gotten wickedly good at taking NASA\u2019s raw images and making them pop. So, without further ado, here are some of the latest gems from Jupiter:<\/p>\n
