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. Stormy Jupiter is swept by over a dozen prevailing winds, some reaching up to 335 miles per hour (539 kilometers per hour) at the equator. The Great Red Spot, a swirling oval of clouds twice as wide as Earth, has been observed on the giant planet for more than 300 years!⁣
 ⁣
Citizen scientist Gary Eason made this image using raw data from the spacecraft’s JunoCam instrument, applying digital processing techniques to enhance color and clarity. Visit go.nasa.gov/junocam to learn more about JunoCam and actively participate in the mission.⁣
