Jupiter image
edit
With the multiple photos of Jupiter we have in Commons, surely there would be a larger file that's also in true colour. Would anyone care to put in the effort for finding one since the current image's technical quality is bothering the hell out of me. ZZZ'S 14:58, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- The current image quality looks good to me, and it satisfies the image criteria for planetary objects. Cf. MOS:ASTRO: "Show the article object as viewed in natural light, without enhancements of specific spectral bands or frequency shifting". Praemonitus (talk) 18:15, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think a fuzzy image with a 579 × 549 resolution and a file size of 91 KB is "good" quality. ZZZ'S 18:21, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- If the current resolution is greater than the actual displayed image size, why would increasing the resolution matter? Praemonitus (talk) 05:21, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- It prevents upscaling because upscaling a PNG/JPG decreases the image quality. ZZZ'S 17:43, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

- Someone changed it again to New Horizon's image which shows Jupiter in false color. New Horizons lacks proper filters to establish a true color image. Only crude approximations can be made. In case of Jupiter flyby, we see there's olive-green color and that simply doesn't exist there. I changed the picture and then someone reverted the editing "because it's too small". That is not a valid criterium. A small photograph of a lion with a normal camera, would obviously be prefered to a larger, false color thermal image. Why not planets? There is a continuous annoying effort online to represent bodies of the Solar system as they don't appear. Lajoswinkler (talk) 14:18, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

- I think this photo from Juno is a good alternative File:Jupiter - Perijove 21 - GRS Composite (48415785321).jpg. Artem.G (talk) 21:27, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think that'd work. It's too distorted and not very conducive to what it would actually look like from a human's point of view. The Hubble photo that recently got swapped in is far better; I don't know why I had even added the New Horizons photo there in the first place. TheWhistleGag (talk) 20:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Blackbody temperature reported on this page is incorrect
editThe blackbody temperature of the Jupiter reported on this page is incorrect. It should be updated to 124.4 /-0.3 K. The source is here: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023RemS...15.1811R/abstract (see footnote 9 at the bottom of page 8). Not just on this page, but on all the solar system planet pages, the "blackbody temperature" should really be listed as the "effective temperature" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_temperature#:~:text=The effective temperature of a star is the temperature of,R is the stellar radius.) or "effective blackbody temperature" because planets are not blackbodies, this is simply the effective blackbody temperature that we get when we integrated the flux over the entire spectrum. 35.6.72.204 (talk) 15:22, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
