Considering a 10 hour rotation and 1.5 rotations, that must be 15 hours of video.

@dotancohen

No it's only 5 HR images with a 3D projection on a sphere. And Winjupos help to make it rotate.

[Cityj0hn]

Since I cannot see anything on the surface move I'm going to correctly assume its one image projected on a 3D sphere which is being shown to rotate.

This is misleading to people who don't know better as they might think you actually made footage of Jupiter rotating.

@Cityj0hn

Yes it's a projection on a sphere.
