This jack-o-lantern-esque view of Jupiter is a mosaic of images taken by the Gemini North Telescope in Hawaii. The bright spots represent the inner heat of Jupiter emanating from the holes in the planet’s vast cloud mantle.
Part of Jupiter’s southern equator can be seen in this image captured by the Junochem imager of Juno. But it is flipped to show the expansion of Jupiter’s atmosphere, with left and right poles instead of top to bottom.
In this image captured by Juno, six cyclones remain stationary at the south pole of Jupiter. A small cyclone, visible below the yellow, has recently joined the party.
The artist’s impression of a collision between a young Jupiter and a giant, yet-forming protoplanet in the early solar system.
These dramatic vortices on Jupiter are atmospheric features. In the field of jet flow the clouds revolve around a circular facility.
Is it a dolphin on Jupiter? No, but it definitely looks like one. It really looks like a cloud that is swimming through a cloud band along the southern temperature belt.
This composite image, obtained from data collected by Jovian Infrared ur Roleral Mapper (JIRIM) on NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter, shows a central cyclone at the planet’s north pole and eight cyclones surrounding it.
This stunning image of Jupiter was captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it unveiled the gas giant’s eighth flyby.
The algorithm-based scaling and color scheme in July 2017 show a vivid look at the Great Red Spot.
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a hurricane with 10,000-mile-wide clouds in July 2017.
Color enhancements give a detailed look at the Great Red Spot.
This comparison of the Earth’s own image with the image of Jupiter taken by NASA astronomer Christopher Go.
This artist’s idea shows the pole-to-pole orbit of NASA’s old spacecraft in Jupiter.
This image shows the south pole of Jupiter, as seen from an altitude of 32,000 miles (52,000 kilometers) by NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The elliptical features are cyclones, with a diameter of 600 miles (1000 kilometers). Multiple images taken with a Junochem instrument on three orbits were combined to show all areas in daylight, enhanced color and stereographic projection.
A closer look at Jupiter’s clouds captured by NASA’s old spacecraft.
Jupiter’s north polar region is approaching NASA’s old spacecraft approaching a giant planet. This view of Jupiter was taken when the orbital flybies were 437,000 miles (703,000 kilometers) old during its first visit to the planet.
This infrared image gives an unprecedented view of Jupiter’s southern aurora, as captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft on August 27, 2016. Juno’s unique polar orbit provides the first opportunity to make a detailed observation of this region of the gas-giant planet.
NASA’s old spacecraft, the first photo of Jupiter, has been sent back from the left after entering orbit around the planet. The photo is made from some of the first images taken by Junochem and shows the four largest moons of the planet: on the left, Io, Europa and Ganymede.
An illustration shows NASA’s old spacecraft entering Jupiter’s orbit. Juno will study Jupiter from a polar orbit about 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) from the gas giant’s cloud tops.
This was the final view of Jupiter taken by Juno before playing on-board to prepare for the orbit. The image was taken June 29, 2016, when the spacecraft was 3.3 million miles (5.3 million kilometers) away from Jupiter.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured images of Jupiter’s aurora at the gas giant’s poles. The observations were supported by measurements taken by Juno.
This artist shows the rendering Juno around Jupiter.
Jupiter and the four largest moons of the planet Jupiter – Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto – are seen in a photo taken by Juno on June 21, 2016. The spacecraft was 6.8 million miles (10.9 million kilometers) away from the planet.
Juno created the Earth’s flyby in October-October 2014. This trio of images was taken by Junochem of the spacecraft.
Three Lego figurines are flying in the old spacecraft. They represent the Roman god Jupiter; His wife Juno; And the scientist Galileo Galilei, who discovered Jupiter’s four largest moons on January 7, 1610.
Jupiter was 445 million miles (16,116 million kilometers) from Earth when Juno was unveiled from Florida’s Cape Canaveral on Flor Gust, 2011ave. To help choose the Earth’s flyby speed.
Technicians use a crane to bring Juno down to a stand where the spacecraft was loaded with fuel for its mission.
Technicians test three huge solar arrays that power the old spacecraft. In this photo, taken on February 2, 2011, each solar array is rotated at the Leheid Kahid Martin Space Systems facility in Denver.
