Although the bright clouds appear tiny in this vast Jovian cloudscape, they actually are cloud towers roughly 30 miles (50 kilometers) wide and 30 miles (50 kilometers) high that cast shadows on the clouds below. Check them out in the gallery below – we’re pretty sure one of them will end up as your desktop background.More info: Image source: NASA’s Juno spacecraft was a little more than one Earth diameter from Jupiter when it captured this mind-bending, color-enhanced view of the planet’s tumultuous atmosphere.Image source: This image captures the swirling cloud formations around the south pole of Jupiter, looking up toward the equatorial region.Image source: During its 24th close flyby of Jupiter, NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured this view of a chaotic, stormy area of the planet’s northern hemisphere known as a folded filamentary region. It’s been the star of the mission so far, and despite being designed to last only eight orbits, it’s still going strong. We are able to see the north pole in its entiretyAlessandro Mura, National Institute for Astrophysics in Rome"It is a phenomenon that we have been able to learn about for the first time with Juno because we are able to see the north pole in its entirety.

En bas à droite, la Grande Tache Rouge. An anticyclone is a weather phenomenon where winds around the storm flow in the direction opposite to those of the flow around a region of low pressure.Image source: Small bright clouds dot Jupiter’s entire south tropical zone in this image acquired by JunoCam on NASA’s Juno spacecraft on May 19, 2017, at an altitude of 7,990 miles (12,858 kilometers). On Jupiter, clouds this high are almost certainly composed of water and/or ammonia ice, and they may be sources of lightning. You constantly worry about your own and your loved ones’ health and it seems like there’s not much else you can think of while you’re stuck within four walls. NASA.gov brings you the latest images, videos and news from America's space agency. Read more #1. "In the case of Europa, a global subsurface water layer probably lies just below the icy crust.

Appearing in the scene are several bright-white “pop-up” clouds as well as an anticyclonic storm, known as a white oval.Image source: See Jovian clouds in striking shades of blue in this new view taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft.Image source: NASA’s Juno mission captured this look at Jupiter’s tumultuous northern regions during the spacecraft’s close approach to the planet on Feb. 17, 2020.Image source: Jupiter’s volcanically active moon Io casts its shadow on the planet in this dramatic image from NASA’s Juno spacecraft. NASA has recently shared a handful of new photos of Jupiter taken by the Juno spacecraft and they’ll take your breath away. Jupiter's Racing Stripes Full Resolution: TIFF (55.77 MB) JPEG (1.295 MB) 2020-05-01: …

Citizen scientist Kevin Gill's fabulous new photo of Jupiter's mid-southern latitudes from Juno's From 500 million miles away from Earth and while traveling at 127,000 mph, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has done it again. During the December 2019 encounter, Ganymede's north pole happened to be in Juno's view. More info: nasa.gov. This is the closest image captured of the Jovian clouds during this recent flyby of the gas giant planet.Image source: A swirling, oval white cloud in Jupiter’s South South Temperate Belt is captured in this image from NASA’s Juno spacecraft. Ganymede is the biggest and most massive moon in the solar system but many of its features have been hidden from sight until now. This battered ice has a different infrared signature than the highly ordered, crystalline ice at lower latitudes, mission team members said.The $1.1 billion Juno probe launched in August 2011 and arrived at Jupiter in July 2016, on a mission to help scientists better understand the giant planet's composition, structure, formation and evolution.Juno loops around Jupiter in a highly elliptical orbit, gathering a variety of data during close passes that occur every 53.5 Earth days. "Layering at Callisto is less well defined and appears to be mainly a mixture of ice and rock." Images from NASA's Juno mission. The image was acquired during Juno’s flyby of the gas giant on Dec. 16, 2017.Image source: A dynamic storm at the southern edge of Jupiter’s northern polar region dominates this Jovian cloudscape, courtesy of NASA’s Juno spacecraft.Image source: This image shows Jupiter’s south pole, as seen by NASA’s Juno spacecraft from an altitude of 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers).
