IMAGES AND MAPS SUBARU/COMICS

    These data were funded by NASA to monitor Jupiter in the infrared, providing a long-term temporal and spatial context to support the encounters of several spacecraft with the planet, e.g. the Galileo mission for this data set.

    This dataset was obtained using COoled Mid-Infrared Camera/Spectrometer (COMICS) at the Subaru Telescope, operated by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) . Observations were made from April 2005 to February 2013 and the dataset covers wavelengths 4.9 - 24.8 μm,
