Vivid clouds swirl across Jupiter's skies like colorful brushstrokes across a painting in a new photo from NASA's Juno spacecraft.
The image, taken during the spacecraft's 61st close flyby of Jupiter on May 12, 2024, hones in on activity in the planet's northern hemisphere. Juno was approximately 18,000 miles (29,000 kilometers) above Jupiter's cloud tops when it captured this new view, highlighting the planet's persistent storms and colorful bands created by strong winds in its atmosphere.
