ESO/VLT INFRARED IMAGES AND MAPS

    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, in this case, covering the New Horizons flyby and part of the time until the Juno Orbit insertion.

    This dataset was obtained using the VLT Imager-Spectrometer in the mid-InfraRed (VISIR) at the European Southern Observatory (ESO)’s Very Large Telescope (VLT). Observations were made from April 2006 to September 2011 and the dataset covers wavelengths 7.9 – 19.5 μm.
