## Caption

At first glance, these swirling clouds might look like cream in coffee. ☕ ⁣
⁣
In fact, during a flyby of Jupiter, our NASAJuno spacecraft captured this view of an area within a Jovian jet stream showing a vortex that has an intensely dark center. ⁣
⁣
At the time, Juno  was about 9,200 miles from the planet's cloud tops. Nearby, other features display bright, high altitude clouds that have puffed up into the sunlight.⁣
