Photograph the limb of the atmosphere, back-lit by the sun, to gauge the opacity of the outer atmosphere. This will show whether the atmosphere is thin and transparent or 'thick and chewy'.

    Photographing the limb of the atmosphere to see the thickness of the planet will be a valuable look in to the atmosphere of this planet in order to further understand this planet. Not to mention that it would be a beautiful photo.

    I too like the pictures of Earth's atmosphere. This would be a really cool picture!

    I think this would make a great picture. One of my favorite pictures is the Earth's atmosphere, and think this would make for a good comparison picture.

    Sounds like this one could tell us a whole lot about Jupiter's atmosphere.
