Juno Captures Jupiter Cloudscape in High Resolution

NASA's image library records Juno Captures Jupiter Cloudscape in High Resolution.

WHY IT’S INTERESTING

This close-up view of Jupiter captures the turbulent region just west of the Great Red Spot in the South Equatorial Belt, with resolution better than any previous pictures from Earth or other spacecraft. NASA's Juno spacecraft captured this image with its JunoCam citizen science instrument when the spacecraft was a mere 5,400 miles (8,700 kilometer

A CLOSER LOOK

This close-up view of Jupiter captures the turbulent region just west of the Great Red Spot in the South Equatorial Belt, with resolution better than any previous pictures from Earth or other spacecraft. NASA's Juno spacecraft captured this image with its JunoCam citizen science instrument when the spacecraft was a mere 5,400 miles (8,700 kilometers) above Jupiter's cloudtops on Dec. 11, 2016 at 9:14 a.m. PT (12:14 p.m. ET). Citizen scientist Sergey Dushkin produced the sublime color processing and cropped the image to draw viewers' eyes to the dynamic clouds. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA21384 . - Enhanced image by Sergey Dushkin based on images provided courtesy of NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS
