On its 14th flyby of Jupiter, our Juno spacecraft (NASAJuno) caught this striking view of the gas giant planet. Like our home planet, Jupiter has cyclones and anticyclones, along with fast-moving jet streams that circle its globe. This image taken on July 16 captures a jet stream located on the far right of the image. It is next to an anticyclonic white oval that is the brighter circular feature in the top right corner. The North Little Red Spot is also visible in this view. Since 2016, Juno has been penetrating Jupiter’s deep, colorful zones and belts in a quest to learn more about the planet's origins, structure, atmosphere and magnetosphere.
