Jupiter’s chaotic energy 😧⁣ ⁣ Our Juno spacecraft captured this view of chaotic clouds and cyclonic storms in the gas giant planet’s northern hemisphere on May 12, 2024.⁣ ⁣ Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. Nine spacecraft have visited Jupiter: seven flew by, and two have orbited, including our Juno mission which arrived in 2016.
