The animations below were made from several images of Jupiter taken by Jean-Yves Beninger from Singapore in July 2007 and August 2008.
Each image was projected to a cylindrical map using Iris, a free software developped by Mr Christian Buil (http://www.astrosurf.com/~buil/ ).
A mosaic of the cylindrical images was assembled with Photoshop PS2.
The resulting cylindrical maps were converted back to 360 individual spherical images and assembled in GIF Animated images.
The original animations are 400 pixels by 400 pixels. The animation presented here is a GIF animated image resized down to 200 x 200 pixels.
