What lies beneath that beautiful bloom đš? Chaos!
The crimson-colored buds make up Jupiterâs Great Red Spot, an iconic storm that has been swirling wildly over the planetâs skies for the past 150 yearsâmaybe even much longer than that. Originally captured by our NASAJuno spacecraft, the massive spot in Jupiter's southern hemisphere was transformed into a striking artist interpretation.
As the largest planet orbiting the Sun, Jupiter has had a profound influence on the solar system. But its origin remains a profound mystery. In 2016 NASAJuno launched on a quest to discover how the complex gas giant planet formed and how it has evolved.
