Planet Jupiter: Spectacular picture of Jupiter's storms

22 March 2019

This beautiful picture of Jupiter was assembled from three separate images acquired by Nasa's Juno spacecraft as it made another of its close passes of the gas giant. The probe has a colour camera onboard and citizen scientists are encouraged to play with the data to make their own views of the planet. This one, which is colour-enhanced, was produced by Kevin M Gill.

The US space agency has dubbed it "Jupiter Marble" - a reference to the full disc pictures of Earth captured by satellites down the years that have been called "Blue Marble".

The Jupiter mosaic includes shots taken between 26,900km and 95,400km from the planet's cloud-tops.

It gives a great view of southern hemisphere storms and of the famous Great Red Spot.

1. It's a beautiful picture but I've got to say,

having been through some major hurricanes (including Katrina), that picture gives me the willies! Bad weather looks awesome and makes your stomach drop at the same time.

3. Except Jupiter's hurricanes

Make ours look like sissies.
