Blue Monday 💙⁣ ⁣ Our Juno spacecraft captured storms on Jupiter's northern hemisphere here as it performed its 24th close pass of the gas giant in 2019. The spacecraft took this image 14,600 miles (23,500 km) above the planet's cloud tops.⁣ ⁣ Juno arrived at Jupiter in 2016 and has been studying our solar system’s largest planet and its moons, learning about gas giants and searching for the fundamental building blocks of life beyond Earth.⁣ ⁣ Image descriptions:⁣ ⁣ Image 1: Black space is barely visible on the left and top left of the image as Jupiter's clouds swirl in blue, white, and tan. The clouds curve gently around each other, creating circular patterns as they ebb and flow across the image.⁣ ⁣ Image 2: Black space appears on the right and top right side of the image. To the left and bottom of the image, white and blue clouds churn in Jupiter's atmosphere.⁣ ⁣ Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS⁣ Image processing by Kevin M.
