"The featured high-resolution time-lapse video was captured over five nights earlier this month by a mid-sized telescope on an apartment balcony in Paris, France." How did somebody on Earth get a view from above Jupiter's pole?

I was meaning in Jupiter imagery generally, did they spot an hexagon at poles ?
Maybe never passed by ?

Paris has a day night cycle (not to mention Jupiter rising and setting)... How did they get five days of images without being interrupted?

Five hours of a single night is sufficient to observe all of Jupiter.

Try as I might, I can't detect any relative movement among the features in Jupiter's atmosphere. I guess Jupiter's weather moves much more slowly than its rotation. On the time scale of the video, the weather features look static.

This 14-frame animation spans 24 Jovian days, or about 10 Earth days. Zones, belts and vortices on Jupiter. The wide equatorial zone is visible in the center surrounded by two dark equatorial belts (SEB and NEB). The large grayish-blue irregular "hot spots" at the northern edge of the white Equatorial Zone change over the course of time as they march eastward across the planet. The Great Red Spot is at the southern margin of the SEB. Strings of small storms rotate around northern-hemisphere ovals. Small, very bright features, possible lightning storms, appear quickly and randomly in turbulent regions. The smallest features visible at the equator are about 600 kilometers across. The occasional black spots in the image are moons of Jupiter getting into the field of view.

One of my 9yr old students noticed it. I at first thought it was produced by the lens, but then I noticed that the line rotated with the planet. Can you take a minute and watch it, and then maybe let me know what we're seeing?

Hi, I watched the video part you are referring to several times but I never saw the line. Try reloading I would guess that it is a streaming artifact unrelated to the video.
Cool to note, nine was about the age I really got in to astronomy, thank you Patrick Moore and “ Observer's Book of Astronomy”!
Happy observing!

I don't realy know why does le software add this when it create the animation but it corresponds to the logitude 0° of the global map that I've made before producing the video.


It's not a black line left when I've croped. I've checked that.

Ok, so it's just a "stitching artifact".

A one-way ticket. A cash-stuffed teddy bear. A dream decades in the making.
For Katalin Kariko, a life in full: Awe-inspiring ideas, careful experiments,
unnoticed successes and the repeated sting of rejection
By Carolyn Y. Johnson, The Washington Post, October 1, 2021

<<In 1985, the Hungarian lab where [biochemist Katalin] Karikó worked lost its funding. She looked for an opportunity in the United States, settling on a postdoctoral position at Temple University in Philadelphia. The family bought one-way tickets and sold their car, smuggling the money inside a big brown teddy bear with red-rimmed eyes. A seam runs down its back, where Kariko performed the surgery. She keeps it in her daughter’s childhood room to this day.>>

<<Katalin Karikó (Hungarian: Karikó Katalin; born 17 January 1955) is a Hungarian biochemist who specializes in the development of in vitro-transcribed mRNA for protein therapies. Together with American immunologist Drew Weissman, she holds U.S. patents for the application of non-immunogenic, nucleoside-modified RNA. This technology has been licensed by BioNTech and Moderna to develop their protein replacement technologies but was also used for their COVID-19 vaccines.

Karikó grew up in Kisújszállás, Hungary, in a small home without running water, a refrigerator, or television. Her father was a butcher and her mother was a bookkeeper. She excelled in science during her primary education. After earning her Ph.D. at the University of Szeged, Karikó continued her research and postdoctoral studies at the Institute of Biochemistry, Biological Research Centre of Hungary. In 1985, the lab lost its funding, and she left Hungary for the United States with her husband and 2-year daughter. They smuggled in a teddy bear £900 received on the black market in exchange for the proceeds from selling a car.>>
