Jupiter by Juno continues to amaze



This is a modified image of Jupiter from data acquired by Juno on December 16, 2017. David Marriott processed it.
















Even though we've been aware of the swirls and eddies and spots of Jupiter for a long time, it's hard to think of Jupiter the same way again -- similar to how our perceptions changed when the Pioneers and Voyagers visited it. This is not such a big step as back then, but it's still a change in the way we view the gas giant planet.
