NASA provides us with amazing views of planets, galaxies, and the farthest reaches of the universe while taking us on an amazing cosmic journey. These brief glimpses pique our interest and introduce us to the wonders of the world beyond. The space agency posted breathtaking photos of Jupiter’s stormy weather on Instagram.
Along with pictures, NASA wrote on Instagram, “Storms on Jupiter – the fifth planet from the Sun – churn and swirl in this image captured by our #JunoMission. With no solid surface on the planet, storms can last for years, decades, or even centuries with winds exceeding 400 mph (643 kph).”
Adding, “Juno imaged this storm within Jupiter’s iconic banded jet streams as it flew 8,000 miles (13,000 km) above the gas giant’s clouds. These turbulent jet streams are comprised of ammonia and water. They crisscross the planet’s atmosphere, which is mostly hydrogen and helium.”
The images shared by NASA show blue, white, and tan clouds and storms swirling in Jupiter’s atmosphere.
