JunoCam is a citizen science project that allows anyone to participate in Jupiter imaging, using a camera aboard the Juno satellite now orbiting Jupiter. Backyard astronomers can taken & upload photos to the "planning" portion of the project; anyone can then go to the JunoCam online portal and vote on which areas of the planet will receive high-grade imaging during each perijove (closest approach each orbit). Anyone can also download the raw images for their own use.
