It was a nice challenge to process this image, since there was only little signal to work with and hidden in the noise. I had to write some custom algorithms to reduce the irregular banding and correct the hotpixels and noise. Here is a small animation of the different processing stages:

The Sunset of May 12 2025 was an epic spectacle. A fortuitously long clear path of very filtered sunlight illuminated the undersides of a dynamically changing broken cloud ceiling with a vivid orange then deepening red light. If it wasn't so windy I would have made a time lapse sequence.

Next time anyone searches for auroras on #Jupiter, it's going to be this astonishing movie from JWST that shows up. Kudos to @jnic.bsky.social for leading this work, it was great to hear the gasps of amazement from across the office when these first landed. Another great #JWSTSolSys result.

My first Mars mission ops job was "targeting" the Context Camera (CTX) aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. This meant picking what the camera took pics of everyday & then analyzing those images when they came back to Earth. This was the 1st photo I ever took of Mars: Pits on Arsia Mons. (1/2)

Not a scientist but 98% sure humans sleep at night to avoid seeing the night sky and being constantly aware of the size of the universe, how miniscule we are in it, and the subsequent infinite gutteral screaming that would inevitably provoke

So last night was perfect for a long star trails run, with clear sky for most of the night, so that's what I did. I beat my previous time for this type of shot too - this image represents 12 hours 30 minutes of star trails! 😀 #Astronomy #Astrophotography #SciArt #Space

A massive 5,600 kilometer wide storm near Jupiter’s north pole, imaged by Juno during Perijove 68 approach on December 27th. For a sense of scale, this is as wide as a flight from New York to Madrid!

Todays image processing challenge: The MAHLI camera from Curiosity has some pesky line noise stemming from bad pixels that get smeared over the image during readout. I'm not aware of any bias frames to correct this noise directly, so I made a synthetic one.
