Since NASA's Juno probe entered Jupiter's orbit a year ago, it's been sending back high-resolution images of the solar system's biggest planet. When NASA released the latest batch of images, last month, German mathematician Gerald Eichstaedt got to work, turning them into into a video.
Using software that he wrote, Eichstaedt used Juno's trajectory data to determine the probe's exact position when it captured an image, and then placed that image on a spherical model of the planet. The resulting video combines 36 images from the probe to simulate a Jovian flyby.

It's almost like being there. Almost. . .
