Making the Picture
Making the picture is the work of JPL's Multimission Image Processing Laboratory. Once the data are received from the
Deep Space Network, computers at JPL reformat the bits into a twodimensional image. The data are calibrated and processed
to ensure a true representation of the targeted planet, moon, or other object.
The resulting digital products are transferred electronically to science teams and engineers for analysis,
archive systems for long-term preservation, and to the public for viewing and downloading through JPL's World Wide Web sites.
These images are the breathtaking pictures that bring space to Earth!Images from Space | Taking the Picture | Getting the Picture
