NASA's Juno spacecraft has sent back stunning photos of Jupiter, including colorful, chaotic storms swirling through the planet's atmosphere.

Juno completed its 66th close flyby (also referred to as a perijove) of Jupiter on Oct. 23, during which the spacecraft traveled close to the planet's poles as well as near the world's fifth-largest moon, Amalthea. The raw photo data captured by the spacecraft's JunoCam during the flyby was recently processed by citizen scientists using color-enhancing filters to highlight Jupiter's beauty.
